Painting Valve Covers!!! Need Help!

Has anyone ever painted there valve covers on a 99 model? I went to installuniversity.com and used their guide. But it was for a 98. And on the 99-00 the coil packs are on a rail. Where the 98' are individuals. Anyway, i cant get the last bolt on the passenger side in the back. Anybody have any advice on how to get to it???

It takes a 10mm box end wrench and about an hour of your time.

Once you take that last bolt out, throw it as far as you can...

Exactly. That last bolt is useless IMO. It seems darn near impossible to get all the way back there, but it can be done. Just be persistent, and stretch your back every once in a while...
