uhhh... disconnect the coil packs and coil pack mounting plate and harness from the valve cover..... i don't think you can even unbolt the valve covers without taking the coil packs off first.

and as far as getting the passenger valve cover off (assuming you already have the coil packs off).... just think of "tetris"

it usually takes me a couple extra minutes each time, and i think each time i do it a different way, but it isn't rocket science.
