I am having a very hard time getting the timing covers off my 95 rodeo 3.2L V6. The top two bolts are easy but there isone bolt in near the middle of the engine that will not come all the way out. It looks kind of like a swivel bolt or something. This is on the passanger side the driver side looks like a hex bolt or something. Please help for I have a water leak problem that I must fix soon.
When I am filling my radiator with antifreeze it starts to run out of the bottom right from under the front of the oil pan....engine off and cold.
Thanks for advise

There is a nut on a stud behind the fan pulley assembly, is this what your talking about?
You'll have to remove the fan pulley assembly to get at the nut.
There are also bolts holding a oil cooler hose bracket in place that also hold the passenger side timing belt cover in place. You'll need to remove crankshaft pulley to get a the bottom one. The one on the bottom also has a spacer behind the cover. You won't want to lose it.
I just did this recently. It wasn't too bad, except for the one broken bolt I had to deal with when I was replacing the water pump. Be prepared to deal with broken bolts or have someone else do it.
