The cover down the side. Are you sure that you have removed all the bolts round there?

Does it lift up at all?

My mates was like that. Just make sure that where the belt is (was) all the bolts are removed.

Do you have a rubber hammer? If so, when they are all removed, give the head a wack. If it's stuck on a locating dowel, that'll dislodge it.

Yes the pulleys must come off as there is bolts behind it

The cover behind the pulleys must move out towards the inner wing then you can remove the head
