Default How to remove camshaft cover?

Hey guys,

I've got a '95 engine that I'm trying to remove the engine tins from. In order to do so I need to remove the camshaft cover. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

I removed the 3 bolts that hold it in place and tried to remove the cover with my hands but it wouldn't budge. Is something else holding this in place?

Please help! Thanks!

It is ready to remove... but it needs to come straight out or it will bind. Twist it a little while pulling.

There is a large O ring holding it in..it can be quite tight. You can also gently tap with a soft hammer just a tiny bit to shock the seal, and then pull straight back with a twist. Most come out easily.

Thanks again guys. Twisting the cover while pulling it out did the trick.
