You will need a counter hold tool for holding the crank pulley to remove the bolt.

The crank pulley has to be removed to be able to remove the cover.

I built my own tool..

- 2 x 750mm length angle iron(30mmx30mm)
- Bolt the end of the 2 lengths using bolt & nut
- At the opposite ends drill 8mm holes and use a 8mm x 50mm hex socket head bolts.
- Couple the hex bolts with nuts to make it adjustable.

Should look similar to this..


This is OE tool
