Generator cover

[BigLT]

I'm having the same problem. Its stuck at the front. Tried tapping (quite hard) with a leather mallet. I'm going to try heat tomorrow, but any other smart ideas? - I'm a bit paranoid about being overly 'firm'.

I'm a bit worried about the dowell you mention - is it 19 on here?

Should the cover slide off? ie. if I bend it forwards from the back, am I going to damage anything?

Thanks

Yes it was the dowel down there that was stuck slightly, gave a little movement about 3-4mm then stuck, I persevered with lots of wiggling and brute force and the casing eventually came off.

Keep at it a bit of force and possibly a bit of anti seize wd40 or similar sprayed around the dowel may help, its just corrosion between the aluminium and steel holding it.
The casing will pull straight horizontally out.

Cover off! Tried leaving it soaking in WD40 for a few hours, then hitting it with a copper hammer and that worked in the end.

Thanks
