Couple days ago when I was riding my 2017 FJ09 home, my chain came off the rear sprocket (neglect on my side) and eventually broke the support rods of my front sprocket cover. There are three supports all of which are from the crankcase. The two at the top broke kind of nicely but the third one left a hole on the crankcase. Below are the photos. The hole is right below the chain. From what I have read so far, welding is the best option but I don't know if the welder can access there easily. I may need to pull the engine out but I have no idea how to and if I can possibly do that in my garage.
Any advice is much appreciated. If you think pulling the engine out is necessary, can you please help me understand how difficult it is? Does anybody think JB weld would hold there despite the heat and vibrations? I have all three support rods that fits right in.
