Default Timing Cover Removal

I'm having a very hard time removing the cover. I'm pretty sure I removed everything in its way and holding it down. Where exactly are the pry locations? The oil pan was very easy but this thing just wont budge!

Here's a picture. Let me know if I forgot to remove something.

Your crank position sensor, while unbolted, is still sitting in place. While that's not the reason you can't break the timing chain cover loose, I would recommend removing it completely before prying on the timing cover. There should be tabs (I don't recall their exact location) in place for you to pry. I used a small flat head screw driver.

Any in the bolts from oil pan? Grey sealer can fight you but not with a decent pry bar. Can you pry on the right side behind the orange plastic?

There is one bolt slighty hidden....right behind the crank sensor wire. Its a short one.

The timing cover will take quite a bit of force to break the original grey sealer.

Let me know if you break it I have 10 of them.

Got it off. Someone clue'd me in and told me a prying location. Bottom left corner. Little elbow grease and popped right off. Thanks guys!
