Hi Rich,

You mean the case, that is bolted on the engine-plate with several bolts? When you have the crank pulley off, I don't see any
problems. Perhaps some oil?

Please be carefull to remember which bolts belongs in which wholes. Some of the bolts have different screw thread

Good luck!

I would wonder what you can do with just the cover of , apart from change the pulley oil seal? there aint much room in there, or maybe changing the seal is all you want to do.

That was a common thing to do when we were servicing them.
