Timing cover removal. M104
Any one know if I can remove the timing cover without removing the "engine hook"? The 5mm engine hook bolts won't budge even with leverage

Yes, thanks. I may have stripped the heads. Mine have a 6mm Allen.

You can hammer a 12 point socket over the allen bolt it may loosen then

I tend to use a large flat nose punch to reform the inhex then hammer in the allen bit.
Hammering the head of the bolt also helps compress the part a bit and takes some of the tension off. You can also hit the head 90* in a few places to walk the head around, this will break metal stiction. As last resorts, use vise grips to turn the bolt or a chisel to spin the bolt.
