today when i was replacing my front oil seal i accidentally pulled the little key out of the eccentric shaft.....Now it wont go back in. Do i need to pull the front cover off to gain access to the part that is blocking entry? I read somewhere I wasnt supposed to have dont this but like i said it was an accident. What exactly falls down behind the key to block it from going back in? Does anyone have a diagram that would show something better than what is in the manual? I would appreciate any and all help you can give me.
thanks

^Heres what can fall behind when teh key moves, also of note, when teh key moved yoru counterwieght did as well. Pull the cover off and fix it asap, trust me your engine and car will love you later for it.

 

Thanx man.
