removed 3 bolts from IMS cover:
twisted the cover clockwise, and used small pray bar to remove cover.
take your time and be gentle with it. it will come out.
once the cover is removed, remove the circle clip. put you finger in the center, to prevent it from falling inside the engine.
the bearing is ready to receive the removing tool.
i played with the center stud to check for play. non what so ever.
