Lol at rocket
Mate just keep a rag under the covers so you dont spill any oil onto the extractors. It's a Pretty easy job..... Whilst i had mine off i painted mine. Was well worth it.

My Gregory's says to use Vaseline on the gasket to hold it in while you put the cover back on, otherwise it will just fall out when you turn cover right way up. I find it much easier.

i've always used the Permatex Form-a-gasket to hold it on
