103 front cover seal

[brewtoo]

I am replacing the front top timing cover seal on my 103 1990 124. I cannot get the "rotor driver" to come out. It is STUCK. I tried using the rotor bolts as a "puller" against the top cover but even that didn't get it loose. Yes, I have removed the T30 Torx bolt.

What's the secret to this?

Thanks



This is from the DIY section to help you ID the part:

Step Three: Remove the rotor and the rotor driver
Take the 3mm hex key (allen wrench) and use it to remove the rotor. Once the rotor is removed you'll find a single Torx bolt behind it. Use the T30 Torx bit on a ratchet to remove it. Once this bolt is removed you'll be able to pull out the bracket that the rotor gets bolted to. This is called the "rotor driver". Once the rotor driver is free you can take out the orange plastic disc.
