I'm now at the stage where all the head bolts have been loosened off, lifting bracket and coolant bracket removed behind the fuel filter housing.
The head now moves slightly when a small amount of pressure is applied under the vacuum pump, however the sprocket end is still being held in place by a fixing that I can't see. I've removed the tensioner bolt from the slotted hole and one of the bolts securing the engine mount to the free end of the head/block.
Any ideas what I may have missed.
Worth noting is the earth strap mentioned in several head removal guides, I'm not sure I've found this as I don't remember removing it. Could anyone give me any clues as to where this may be so that I can verify it's removal.
