   Got my car stripped down on the drive...
   
   I've read the guide on here but can't see how to get the bottom timing belt cover off without removing the crank pulley bolt, any tips?
   
   I've removed the crankpulley but I'm left with the crank sprocket / pulley mount and the cover will not fit around it. I was hoping the cover would come off at this stage as usally need an airgun to remove the centre crank-pulley bolt. HELP!

   All you need to do is undo the 3 13's for the crank pulley and then there is i think 3 10's holding the bottom timing belt cover on

   Sorted now, the problem was that the bottom timing cover was melted and distorted and would not come over the crank sprocket!
