Timing cover removal
 
Trying to figure out what I’m missing to remove timing cover. Have all bolts around off. Gets stuck around the middle where the fan goes. Do I need to remove the pulley to remove cover?

Pic for reference. Got the one bolt where crank pulley sat. Getting stuck around fan pulley. Only one on there. Assuming now I just have to take that off to finally release cover?

I didn’t realize behind the pulley in the middle there’s 2 or 3 bolts. Can’t remember
