Stuck Timing Cover

[Joshofbass]

Help, Im half way through removing the timing cover due to a coolant leak. Taken everything out that i need to, even removed the water pump and oil pump. Just cant get it to come off. It moves but will not come off..

Any ideas?

[Boonz]

have you taken the bottom 3 bolts out the hold the sump on?

[Joshofbass]

yeah, seem to have everything off.

Wondering if its to do with the key on the driveshaft for the harmonic balancer pulley?
its completely loose and will move around but almost feels like something is holding on to it from the inside...

Thinking of beating it to death

OKAY FIXED IT!

When I had taken the waterpump off we had broken a few of the bolts and it turns out one of them was one of the bigger bolts that holds the timing cover on.

Now I can continue and fix the actual problem!
