Valve Cover Removal?

Does anyone have a good idea on how the best and most efficient way to take off the valve covers on a '90 302?

The driver's side seems pretty straight forward, but the passenger side looks to be quite difficult, because of the manifold overhang on that side.

If anyone has any suggestions, please help.


Thanks,

Troy

Easiest way is to tell you go buy a Chiltons or Haynes manual. They have step by step instructions. Passenger side is a pain you do have to remove the upper intake. There is no easy way to explain it or do it. Sorry, I could not be more help but, other than me writing word for word whats in my manuals this is the best I can do Good Luck,
