help getting the left side engine cover off.

[rsoffar]

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.

You need a puller.  A cheap steering wheel puller will work.  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 do it all the time without a puller. 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.

Tap on the case cover with a rubber mallet to loosen it.  You camy have to remove the side stand mount or the clutch rod to get it off.

thanks guys, i got it off with the mallet this morning.

I would suggest you not do it that way, becasue there is a high risk of snapping that pan handle if you force it too much. a puller costs less than $10 and its just cheap insurance
