    there are 3 places on the top that you need to unscrew. they are 10mm, so any socket/wrench will do. after unscrewing those, make sure to remember your ground on the bolt to the right side. and to put it back when you put the valve cover back on. on the left side are a few peices that help support hoses. just remember their basic orientation so its easier to get the hoses back on, but if it works it works... nothing critical if you have it a different way.

    sometimes they are stuck on there good if the last person used gasket sealer, so you may want to take a rag, and set it on there, and tap the valve cover with a rubber mallet to break the seal so you can take it off. it should be able to just wiggled up and off. then do your painting thing, and put everything back.

    its really easy and should take less than 5min to take off. :P good luck.. post if you have trouble of course

    hey, dont forget its a good idea to get a new gasket for the valve cover after u take it off. they are usually not good to use again. i would highly reccomend gettin a new gasket when u take the valve cover off. in most cases i wont seal too great if u try and reuse it. unless its pretty new get a new gasket.
