Removal of horizontal cylinder's timing belt cover

Post by randtcastell »

It seems to me that in order to remove of horizontal cylinder's timing belt cover I must remove the motor mount causing interference. Please see photo. I seek advice. :^) Is this the way or am I missing the obvious. Thank you in advance for any thoughts!

Does the shop manual call out what to remove as part of the belt service steps? That sort of thing often is.

No. You may not be too familiar with the the factory manual. It only describes, illustrates how to work on an engine that is out of frame. period. :^) your sarcasm stinks.

so does your mechanical ability . If you cant figure out how to get a simple bit like that off maybe you should stick to playing with yourself

OMG I've never seen insults hurled at this respected forum in the 15 years I've visited daily just to enjoy the community and comradery. I wonder how you know of my mechanical abilities. I was thinking a post like mine would point out something I missed. That kind of inquiry has always returned kind and helpful and considerate replies in the past. I hope you can relax now. I won't bother to post or enjoy the site as I have it the past. Good luck.

No sure why nobody just simply replied that yes, that's what you have to do. Easy.
