How do you get the dang oil pump off the timing cover !!!

I took the 4 bolts out the bottom 10mm, but it seems stuck and I don't want to beat on it any more !

A picture would be so nice !

I did that and I don't see any bolts just the center thing the filter screws on and a little pressure bypass valve.....
No screws visable.

Well, if you can't see 'em the cover won't be coming off in one piece...

Do you still have the cooler adapter on? If so remove that (the center threaded piece that the filter screws on) once that is off you will see the other 2 screws!

Hope this works for you. Should be able to see the 6 bolt locations here.

Buy a shop manual....

You MUST remove the oil cooler adaptor. Takes a BIG socket to do that. You will then see the two bolts behind the oil cooler adaptor.
