hey mate,
that front cover is the oil pump. it should just gently tap off. make sure you have removed the pulley that the timing belt runs on first. you need make up a puller to do this. there is also two orings in there for the oil pump suction and pressure ports. you should replace these with new factory toyota orings as they are very important! the toyota manual also recomends that the sump should also be taken off to do this job.
