Default How do you get oil filler neck off valve cover?

I am going to polish them to a shine, but have no clue how to get the oil neck off. Any input?

Thanks

Theres actually a little plastic tab you psuh in with a screwdriver. Look on the underside of the cover and youll see it on the neck.

Thanks Carl. I'll try that before Stevie's method. Those methods usually get me something broke.

LOL... i was about to bust mine all to hell, but noticed the plastic locking tab. You actually have to try to pull it out (toward the inside of the neck) and turn at the same time.
