Timing cover gasket replacement on v8 s80

[RodS80V8]

There a very few information resources on replacing the timing cover gaskets on the Volvo V8 and in the case of the S80 V8 there is Nothing.I found a pretty good video on YT that was helpful for the most part but it was regarding the XC90 V8 although same engine there are certain space limitations when it comes to the s80 V8 that are not a problem with XC90.I’m doing the VC gaskets,upper and lower intake gaskets WP and TSTAT all these are straight forward but there is an issue with the s80 when trying to get the timing cover off there is a motor mounted that doesn’t seem to be able to be removed without pulling the half axle if anyone has a solution or work around it sure would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
