Getting ready with the hardware...
The timing plate is held on with 5 bolts. Underneath you'll find an o-ring in it's groove. The ring will be reused in the timing cover machined into the lower portion of the blower bracket. Very little oil in here, no need to be concerned if you just changed your oil. You did just change your oil and filter, right?
You'll find the timing wheel and the M8 crank bolt. Makes sense to take a pic of the position of the wheel as the magnetic pickup is extremely strong and can pull the wheel off the splines when the bolt is out. Splines are keyed but this picture sure made me feel better when mine went clanging to the floor....
You'll also notice my best friend in my whole toolbox, a manual impact driver. This little sucker turns a hammer blow into rotary motion, breaking free parts without cursing or damage. Cheap and effective.
There's a little o-ringed bolt up directly across from your rightmost exhaust header too. Pull it out, it'll be replaced by a longer version as well.
