i finally go the engine sprocket off yesterday. I had to take the handle off my floor jack to use for extra leverage.
it thing was on real tight. and as i was trying to get off the cover, two of the screws stripped. one regular and one tapered head.
i went and got some replacements, or at least one that will due.. but now i had to drill out the scripped ones before i can get the cover off to replace the seals. Aint that 'bout a bitch!!
