I'm trying to get to the timing cover off and I need to take all the accessories off in order to get the timing cover off. But I'm having trouble getting the bolts out that old the Hydraulic fan pump at the moment. I used an impact on two of the bolts for the plate that the pump connects to and it had a hard time getting them out. But these 4 bolts for the hydraulic fan pump are impossible to get to with an impact. I've tried heating them up with no such luck and put some PB oil on it as well. I've pried on them so hard and i'm rounding the head of the bolt. So I might be cutting the head off with a chisel and deal with the after math by possibly buying a new bracket for the pump.

So looking for ideas on how some of you might have gotten yours out.

Thank you,
Nathan A. Zeh

I'm new, just bought the car in July and have been making repairs here and there.
