Folks,

Title says all - the aluminum air conditioning pipe that runs across the top of the timing belt cover prevents me from removing it.

Any advice?

Thanks,

PIerre.

Looks like unbolting and moving the compressor is the solution. help-ac-line-in-way-of-top-timing-cover-t572068.html

Should have replied earlier but yes, that did it (in addition to unplugging an electrical harness right above the compressor so it would swing far enough forward to enable the removal of the cover).

Thanks for the tip, saved me a bunch of time.
