318 timing chain

Once you have the Dampner and cover off they just slide off. I used a little pry bar and pushed them off by moving them a little at a time and keeping them. Move one and then the other so they come off together.
I was trying that and couldn't get it... but I finally got it late last night... When all else fails, use a 2x4 and a chevy tool (Hammer) lol. I ran into another problem though, when torquing the main crankshaft bearings down, I broke one of the mounts... DAMN lol, now I am on the search for a replacement part.
