I started a timing belt project all has gone well until I went to change the seals. The first two smaller seals went in ok, but the larger crank seal didn't go in so easy. The FAQ files sugest the removal of what they call the front bearing mounting plate. I removed five or six bolts and two nuts + the two from the bottom of the oil pan, and it wiggles but will not come off. There are two what I cant tell are either guide pins, bolts from inside the oil pan or snaped bolts that seem to be holding it in place. Does anyone know how to remove this plate? I have lightly tapped it with a rubber mallet.
