Unbolt drivers side motor mount and use a jack to lift the engine slightly

You also need to remove the power steering reservoir bracket.

13mm bolt.

Accessed by putting your face by the driver's side catalytic converter.

How come I got mine off without knowing it was supposed to be difficult? I didn't move anything except the stuff bolted to the valve cover (not that I remember). Do I have a bad engine mount on the passenger side that played in my favor?

Finally got it off yesterday me , my dad and two mechanics together got it off

glad you didnt use a sledge hammer, there was a member on here about 2 years ago maybe longer, who got so tired of it he brute force ripped the dam things off the car and in the process ruined the heads, and fenders of the car!!! BFH is not always a good things

I'd like to post a link for you to look at..
Consider your next move very carefully.
This situation ended Very Very Badly.!

I guess practice really pays off. I have replaced about 6 valve cover gaskets on Mustang Cobra's, all with 4v's in them. When i did my current 1998 Mark VIII it took a little longer at about 3 hours for both sides. The first time i went thru the same steps as you did,it took about 6 hours on my 04 Cobra.

I ran into a big problem now now I can't get the valve cover back on any suggestions

[Kingakeem17]

Open your eyes and find it. Find motor mount and its right there.
