Can't seem to get rid of the upper shroud cover after removing all (?)
bolts. Is there possibly a bolt connecting the upper shroud with the
lower, and any hints on how to get to it? Thanx

What year? What model?

On my 3rd Gen VG30E, I had to take off both timing belt covers, upper and
lower.

Do you have a manual? It should tell you how many screws need to come out.
Personally, I wouldn't do this repair without a manual, and I've already
done the pump twice.

thanx, re: water pump replacement. it's a 1985 maxima. i have the manual
but it doesn't even mention the 'shroud/timing belt cover'. i discovered
the name while searching the internet. The article i found did not mention
the number of bolts, but mentioned 'clips' on the lower cover. i think
there may be a bolt on the lower that holds both lower and upper, but i
can't reach it!!

The manual doesn't mention the timing belt cover?

Well, it may not in the water pump section, but look under the timing belt
section. If you're doing a water pump, you should do the belt and belt
tensioner as well. The parts are very cheap, and you'll be in there
anyway.

Good luck,
