Very difficult to pry apart with all the RTV they use. The ring gear stopper is very necessary (which I'm willing to part with $). I did not remove the valve covers to remove chains/sprockets. With the new tensioner "shoes", I was able to snap them on with my hand, using firm pressure. Taking pictures along the way helps with reassembly. Removing the passenger side fender liner helps with removing the alternator. It'll need a couple of love taps to get it released from it's bracket.
