I'm working on splitting the case on my GC code engine. I've taken out all the case nuts and bolts (and double checked, triple checked, then checked two more times for good measure) but I can't open the case fully (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)
3 of the 4 "corners" of the case open very freely, but the one pictured will only rock back and forth, it will not open all the way to separate the case halves. I know this may be a difficult one to answer via a forum post, but anyone have any suggestions as to what I may be missing? Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I am at my wits end on this one!! Attached thumbnail(s)

I had the same issue, remove the bolts but take the tabs out, look at where you can apply pressure safely and get it done.

How did you remove the 3 lower (closest to the sump) through bolts? I can't see how I'll be able to access the plastic insulators. |
