Title: help getting the left side engine cover off. Post by: rsoffar on July 12, 2008, 06:19:25 PM i took out all the allen bolts and took off the slave cylinder... is there other things im missing that need to come off?
i just cant seem to get it to budge. i think the last person to take it off used a liquid gasket to seal it up.. any tips on getting this off? i just cant get it off and i need to so i can redo the gasket cause im leaking oil.

Remove the cover plate in the middle of the side cover. Install puller. Turn center screw until cover comes off. The factory uses liquid sealer. Like Hedgehog said in the other thread...manual...

I use a rubber hammer and tap outwards on several places on the case untill it pops off. I normally dont have to even do that. Ive pulled it about 8 times.
