DIS will need to be removed, other than that, cover just comes off.

Seems that the AKK engine camshaft runs in the camshaft cover,so no camshaft bearing caps
This means that to take the cover off the cambelt tensioner needs to be slackened off first.What crap! means that to re seal the camshaft cover is going to take couple hours rather than 45mins or less if camshaft had bearing caps fitted.To me that is a backward step in the engine design.
