I'm trying to take off my valve covers so i can paint them. I can't remove the driver;s side valve cover to save my life. I've taken out all the bolts and removed the coils and disconnected the wires that go to the injectors and also removed the power steering reservoir and put it out of the way. What keeps geting in the way is the brake booster that comes through the fire wall, i've tried every way possible to get the valve cover out but no luck, i also loosened the oil dip stick tube to give me some more play but no luck. The valve cover just won't work it's way out from around the brake booster. PLEASE if anyone has experience and and info please help ASAP. Thanks.

Well I think I removed the timing chain cover first to get mine off. But it was a pain. I think I had to kind of force mine off but can't remember too well. It's something I want to forget.
