It doesn't need to be out but you do need to get the troublesome middle bolt out of the existing cover. I think that may require dropping the engine mount on that side...

I got the middle bolt out & loosend the bracket beside it (think it's for the mount) but it seems like there is somthin else holding it...it's as if it needs to step out so it clears the cams/belt then up^ & out. Your right tho the middle bolt was fecking torture ](*,)
I am going to give it another go today :pray:
