Hello everyone,
Sorry for being the fella to make a first post with questions bit I'm really struggling!
I've been trying for the last few day to remove the timing cover from my 2009 GS it's badly corroded and needs a refurb.
I've removed all bolts and I've been tapping all around the seam with a soft face dead blow hammer while levering in the only spot possible at the top but I cannot get the cover to budge at all.
When I say levering, I've been using a pry bar with all of my weight against it and I'm actually amazed that I haven't snapped anything.
I've seen with the earlier models that you could make a pulling tool to use against the bearing. Has anyone made anything for the later models without the lower bearing and shaft? I know this would mean pushing against the crankshaft but I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point.
Thanks for any help that you guys might be able to provide. I've searched through most forums but there's a suspicious lack of info regarding engine covers on the 3rd gen GS's
