how hard is it to get the rocker covers off the engine so i can paint them?
easy. just unbolt them
yeah but the rearmost bolt on the drivers side is seriously heinous. just cos it's hard to reach, i think i used a 3/8, not a ratchet, cos you can't actually move it enough for the ratchet to work.
good time to check your gaskets and the grommets round the bolts.
