Hello everyone, it's been a while. I hope all are well other than the typical Rover maladies.
I've had a very slow coolant leak for a while that I couldn't seem to track down. Last Saturday, it became quite easy to track down as the flow increased dramatically. The front cover gasket failed at the left side coolant port. Anyway, I have everything torn down to the point of taking the front cover off. The problem is it doesn't seem to want to come off. I have about a mm of separation from the block when I pull on it but it doesn't seem to want to go any farther. Is there a trick to this?
Yes, I have the crankshaft pulley/harmonic balancer removed. The lower left (opposite the oil filter) seems to have the least amount of movement.
Also, are tools LRT-12-090 and LRT-12-089 crucial to reinstall?
Thanks
