Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) timing cover question & shop manual

[cluckmaster]

Is there a thread or link with directions for removing the timing cover? I've been searching and haven't found anything. Do you have to pull the radiator, fan, harmonic balancer, etc. ?



Also, where can I pick up a good shop manual for the 12 valve? Thanks?

TST way you remove fan bracket and harmonic and cover is ready to come off... it is easier if you remove the top radiator hose first for more working room. .

Geno's has the shop manual,either in print or on CD.

Haha... thanks- just got finished-pulled the radiator too. I'll pick up a shop manual today.
