On 05/1998 and later models, support the engine with a piece of wood under the oil pan to remove the right engine mount and remove the studs. Then remove the timing cover.
2. Installation - in the reverse order of removal. The edges of this cover must be correctly joined with the edges of the middle cover. Tighten the bolts to the required torque.
Middle lid
