Replaced the timing cover seal today.

Finally had enough of the oil pouring out of the front end. It was only 106 today so what the hell.

here goes nothing.

Got to love working around the winch.

Ready to drain the radiator.

Awesome job of spotting the drain pan.

Nut buster time.

Came off easier than I expected.

Time to pull.

Success!!

I wish you'd been around when they were hiring photographers for the haynes manuals. Nice step by step.

Couldn't have done it without all the expert advise I picked up here before starting the project.

thanks guys,

Nice write up.

Did you have any problems getting that bottom bolt on the bib hinge off? With the winch on mine the bib only tilted enough to get a rachet wrench on it with about 5 degrees of swing. Took forever.

Oh yeah, good job at catching all the coolant.

I slid the end wrench on the inside and used the ratchet on the outside. The bib holds the end wrench in place. Yeah it sucks. The one's I struggled with were the bottom bolts of the radiator support to remove the shield. They were seized up. In the end I bent the shield out of the way and then bent it back.
