are you talking about the sprocket cover?

it is held on by several bolts and could be hard to remove since there is a paper gasket if never been removed stuck and holding on. are you talking about the sprocket cover?

I think he's talking about the 30mm cap on the right crankcase cover, the one you need to remove in order to manually turn the engine. You only need to unbolt that cap (CCW), shouldn't be too hard unless someone used locktite on it.
