Ok wtf?!?! I can't remove the front valve cover cuz that stupid piece that holds the dogbone is in the way! I removed two bolts and it won't come off still! Can anyone tell me how to get that stupid piece off?
 


?

the ICM/coil bracket has to have the s/c belt removed, s/c belt tensioner, then three nuts then the tensioner will move.
 
Ah. So there's a nut I can't see cuz of that stupid tensioner. Do I just need to remove the pulley on the tensioner?
 
Son of a biscuit. Honestly I only looked at it for 10 minutes but it pissed me off cuz I thought it would come off quickly lol alright well no biggie. Ill remove the pulley tomorrow and pull the cover off so I can replace gaskets and paint my covers :)
 


Ok and how do I remove that? I don't get much time so I need to know so I can do everything quickly.
 
Welcome to the W body world. W stands for worst to work on.

go take a look at a Bonneville, Park Ave or Riviera. Front cover comes off in under 30 seconds for any parapalegic.
 
Lol thats a good one. Try working on a 95 chrysler cirrus with a 2.5 and doin the water pump. Worst ever
 


anything that requires you to remove the engine mount and go up and down with the vehicle and motor separately is a huge pain in the a$$
