If the oil junction block is off, you can give the rear of the pressure release valve a couple of firm taps with a length of 1" x 1/2" hardwood from the drive side which is often enough to get it moving. If it doesn't move though, don't keep smashing at it as you could knock the cover out of square on the dowels.
And you do have the service tool for protecting the new seal at the reinstall? And of course you have found a new pioneer brand seal for the crank end. And a new gasket It's the while your at it's that drive the price up.
While you are in there:
be advised that there are differences in the thickness of the timing cover gaskets out "there." The clearance can be critical for the amount of compression of the "button" seal for the oil pump outlet.
You will also need one of those.
You also might want to check the oil pump. It is an easy task to lap it in and make sure that it will work well when you tighten those cover screws back up.
You will also have to set the static timing once you remove the trigger.
Removing the timing cover is so much more than the polishing but it is all fun! :wink:

Got it off, It was glued on,And all i wanted to do was polish the case, its turning into a marathon, Gearbox cases etc are off and i plan to rebuild the gearbox while its apart, Will look at the oil pump while its apart, hopefully the other seals etc will be ok when i put it back together , Being in Oz i have a couple of weeks lag time by the time i realise i need a part until i receive it so often when i pull things apart i have to consider to wait or go with what i have
Timing cover
Before re-installing the timing cover check to make sure all the alignment dots on the crank pinion, intermediate pinion and camshaft pinion are properly spaced. Every time I take my timing cover off the pin through the intermediate comes with the cover, the camshaft then slips and the whole thing goes out of alignment.
Before applying any gasket sealer, push the cover up with gasket in place. It should not be able to seat to the crankcase as the oil pump conical seal needs to be compressed. If this is not the case, you will need some shims under the oil pump seal. This takes care of any variation in gasket thickness.
