holy cow it still won't come off?? are you using any extension bar for leverage? dang...
Yea we did, and with two of us pulling on it! I called my friend at the local dealer and he said the impact gun would be best bet.

You must be talking about putting a breaker bar on the nut and leaning it against the floor then starting the starter without starting the car? If not, PM me what it is
I don’t need to drain Freon with this step, another question if I do wanna repair my valve cover gaskets I need to remove everything that’s on the way??I sent him a PM with some directions,
but I did forget about unbolting the PS pump from the block.
I thought about it but forgt to write it.

Disconnect the battery before you do anything, then:
1: Remove coil covers and coils (Might want to remove plugs, not if you are careful)
2: Unbolt cam covers and support somewhere in the center to raise it off the head.
3:unbolt PS reservoir bracket from head and set aside
3a: remove PS pump from the engine block (3 or 4 bolts)
May not need to drain fluid
4:Unplug cam sensor
5: Loosen water pump pulley bolts
(belt still on, makes it easier)
6: Remove serpentine belt
7: remove WP pulley
8: Loosen AC compressor bolts, slide compressor away from block, unplug crank sensor
9: Remove two nuts holding harness to starter motor solenoid
10: Remove bolt holding starter harness to block (for slack)
11: Remove 4 front oil pan bolts
12: remove 2 nuts holding starter harness to front timing cover studs
13: Remove center crankshaft bolt (18mm?)
14: remove crankshaft damper w/puller
15: Make a cardboard template to place removed timing cover studs.
Put holes in it to put the studs and nuts, bolts. It is easy to mix them up.
16: Remove timing cover bolts, nuts studs, placing them into your cardboard "roadmap"
17: Remove timing cover
I got two questions, do I need to remove Freon for this step?I sent him a PM with some directions,
but I did forget about unbolting the PS pump from the block.
