Hello,
I am in the process of replacing the timing chains on my 2005 Pathfinder and I am having a really tough time getting the front cover removed. The "Gasket Maker" material used to adhere the cover is really giving me fits to separate. The Nissan repair manual does show a special seal cutter but there are some areas of the cover that I don't think this tool could even be used even I did have one. I have been using multiple thin gasket scrapers and thin pry bars to insert and apply separating pressure but it will not cut loose. Does anyone have any tips/suggestions on a different method to go about doing this?
Thanks,
