Post Valve cover gaskets - 1990 5.8 - how hard?

Hi, sorry I described the stupid bolt incorrectly. I figure some engineer from gm designed it, it is definetly not a Ford engineering product.
The technique I use that works best is using one of the long flexible 4 claw grabber...usually referred to as a finger.
I break the bolt free a couple of turns, then grab the top of it with the finger, and unscrew it the rest of the way. Installing it is the reverse. get the other bolts in finger tight, then put that one in.
The reason for the finger is if you drop that sucker, you will have a hard time finding it!!
