my service manual says remove bolts (shows 7) and then remove cover. Does say to replace the gasket and put silcone sealant where the two wire harnesses exit the cover.

Ok.  What a pain in the neck.   Ill try again with the pry marks and try and break the gasket seal and maybe add some heat away from the electrical wires......Thx

Just looked at my manual...not very useful. I believe there are pry points, but I've never needed to go inside mine.

There are two metal tabs one on left and right sides lower that appear to be prying tabs.  I tried a pry bar but no luck.  Hit a little harder with mallet and not budgeing.

Would using a plumbers torch hurt anything?

Troll are you out there???? Anyone know exactly what to do to get the cover off???

The round looking cover is the alternator cover.  I disconnected the coil electrical and alternator electrical plugs.

Ok my pickup coil parts came last night.  My mechanic friend bailed on me today something came up.

So Iam trying to install the new pick up coils today but cannot get the alternator / outer stator assembly cover removed.  I manual only say remove cover but does not say how to.   I tried gently tapping with a rubber mallet and not budging.  All bolts were removed I triple checked.  I drew a picture on the bolt pattern on cardboard and placed the bolts through the cardboard for their exact location.

Does anyone know how to remove it.   It's under the left side cover.

Here's a picture.
