Hi, I have the timing cover off, timing chain off, and from what I understand all the bolts off the cams. Im just stuck at the part where the chain is around both cams. I have a picture of 1 side of the chain. The other is cover from the timing chain. If anybody can help that would be great! Thanks!!

 

It is in the service manual. Here is the link.

You want section EM. Look in the index for Timing Chain - removal. It is a different page number in each year's manual. For example, it is page 22 in the 2001 manual.

 

Oh, boy. Have you learned the bad news, yet?

I would pull the motor. You couldn't pay me to disassemble the whole timing cover and work on that crap in the car.

 

The engine is pulled

 

Good thing lol. Everything has to go. Pull primary chain and the sprockets, then you can get to the secondaries.
