timing chain guide removal om617 - MTUPower - 05-08-2018
So I'm removing the head from the block in my garage. The head is off but the timing chain guide is stopping the complete removal. How does one remove the guide? I see it's a threaded insert and I used a matching bolt with a washer in the attempt to pull it out. Do I need a special tool such as this?

Well I broke a small bolt off inside the pin- but I have left handed bits and a extractor. Didn't need the extractor- just a punch and the bit plus a needlenose pliers. I used some acetone /ATF mix over the area and the pin just started to spin. Ugh. I tried a different nut/washer set up and a pry bar with success. The head is off!
