I am trying to replace the sparkplug seals on my 97 cobra and i am having trouble getting the valve covers off. All of the bolts are out but I am having trouble because the brake booster and clutch cable is in the way on the drivers side, and the fuel rails and heater hose are in the way on the passenger side. Is their anything i can do to make this easier??? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

There isnt a brake booster on the Cobra. If I recall you have to remove the clutch cable to remove the cover. Not sure on bank 2

Yeah I have a chilton manual, but those things make everything look easy, plus the problem is the one I have covers all mustangs from 94-98. So there's not very much cobra info in there. Thanks for the info though.
