Default valve covers and header bolts??

Okay so I am about to get headers tomorrow or they should be arriving tomorrow, and I want to go ahead and paint my valve covers and I was wondering how to get the back 2 or 3 headers bolts out? and the best way to get the valve covers off??

It's about as simple as that. Just unbolt the coil bracket. and then the valve cover bolts. If I remember right quarter inch ratchet's the easiest for the valve covers. Make sure you spray the header bolts with some penetrant a couple days before you start to help loosen the rust on them.

The PCM side sucks as far as coil packs go
