There's two bolts on the bottom/front of the timing cover. Remove those and
pry the cover towards the front of the engine bay from the top. To re-seal,
just clean up the surface and add a bead of silicon to the oilpan. (I've
removed it three times already without any leaks.

How does one seperate the timing chain cover from the oil pan gasket? I've
gotten all the bolts out, but she's stuck to the gasket. and I do NOT want
to mess that up and have to drop the axle to fix a gasket.
oh... almost a full inch of slack in the stock timing chain... w/ 94k
miles. High mileage trucks be weary
