Help removing crankshaft hub on E34

["Doug Hill" <Doug_Hill1@xxxxxxx>]

I need assistance in removing the crankshaft hub in order to replace the
lower timing chain cover gasket on a 92 525i  M50.

The Bentley manual is not very clear, just says to lock the crankshaft
in TDC by inserting a special tool through bellhousing and drive plate.
Then to "Remove the crankshaft hub bolt and washer and remove the hub
from the crankshaft".

How do I remove the hub?
Is it pressed on requiring a pulley puller or is it threaded? Looks like
the bolt is 22mm, can anyone confirm?

I've removed the valve cover and looking at the 2 Torx E8 bolts from
above, the manual says there are three? Any other tricks involved with
removing the lower timing chain cover?

Appreciate any assistance.

Thanks
Doug Hill
