So I started the tear down for timing chain replacement on a 4.6L DOHC Lincoln Aviator. I know it's not a mustang, sorry. I ran into a bit of a brick wall when I started the timing job. Do you need to remove the power steering pump to get the timing cover off? The bolts are impossible to get to on this vehicle and I ended up rounding off the hard one to get to on the bracket
Does that bolt still need to come out to get the timing cover off? Or can I just cut off the bracket?
Also, I saw it mentioned in another thread that the pump doesn't need to come off, just the pulley. If so, what tool/how do you get the pulley off?
Do the power steering pump bolts not thread into the front cover?
