Subject:Can't get the @$$#! oil cover off!
From:Tom Young
Date:Fri, 14 Aug 1998 22:25:38 -0700

Hey all:

I'm slowly tearing apart the junkyard 2.0L aircooled engine I acquired,
but I'm stuck; well, actually, it's the oil pump cover that's stuck.
I've taken off the 4 nuts (that's all there is, right?) and I've loosened
the studs/nuts that hold the case together nearby, but I *CAN'T* get that
cover off.  I've used a small (~10") pry bar on it, putting more pressure
on the bar than I care to contemplate, but it still hasn't budged.

What's the secret to getting this thing off?  Do I just go ahead and
unbolt the entire case?

TIA.
