Jetta Mk2 Timing Belt Cover ..
 

Hi All

I tried removing the timing belt cover and found that the Allen key "nut" on side side just turns and turns ...

Looks like the guy who last worked on the car may have cross threaded the nut ... https://volkswagenforum.com/micons/m13.gif


Any ideas on how this can be removed, I suspect that the "bolt" portion has somehow come loose but I have no idea how this is mounted on the timing belt cover piece that mounts against the side of the engine.

Any tips out there ??

And thanks in advance for comments and ideas ..
