Front Cover Removal (2g)

[Onefast99gsx]

Hi Guys-

We just got my engine pulled out and put on the engine stand tonight. I was gonna re-ring with the crank in but I think that's a half ass way to do it risking the chance of get getting contaminents in the bearings when honing it out. So I'm gonna just take the whole motor apart.

My question: Is there any special tools needed to get the front cover off? Such as for the oil pump sprocket and the crank sprocket? Do you need a gear puller or something?

Thanks.
