    Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces!!
    To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion.
    To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the engine coolant temperature drops below 38°C (100°F) before loosening

    the cylinder head bolts.
    Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection. Also, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or hoses, or

    interfere with other parts.

    I suggest getting the crank pulley removal tool even if you have an impact, my impact (350 ft/lbs) wouldn't take it off, I had to use a breaker bar with a long pipe on it.

    Also forgot to add if anyone accidentally starts dropping the pins off the rockers, here is the correct way to put them back together.

    Nice! Mine took a shit load of force even with the big pipe on my breaker bar. Hardest thing I've had to take off yet... Harder than an axle nut.
