Hi,
I'm in the process of trying to get the water/oil pump off my K75 engine. I'm stuck at the first step, trying to get the cover off the pump. I've removed all the bolts yet the cover won't come off, even after prying slightly with a screwdriver. There's no apparent sealant line; the cover is bonded tightly to the body.
How much leverage can I apply to the cover? I've tried finding a purchase point for a knife blade but none exists.
Any ideas welcome.
