Timing Cover

My timing cover is bent, and it is rubbing on my PS/WP belt. Is this cover hard to replace?

Timing Cover

It's sort of difficult. Just did mine twice in two days. (long story, see: Engine rebuild thread. You have to pull all the belts, pull the waterpump pulley for sure. If it isn't rubbbing on the top half, you will need to pull the crank pulley. Air tools would be a plus, particularly to remove the crank pulley. How old is the timing belt if you go to all this trouble?

All this was discovered while installing my UDP crank pulley.
