Went to put on my new Gates belt today and could not get the clutch cover off. I removed the grease fitting on the upper control arm and the 8 screws holding the cover on. The cover was loose but I could not maneuver it to clear the control arms. I did not jack up the vehicle while trying to do this….not sure if that makes a difference or not. Would appreciate any tips to get the cover out of the way.
