Change Valve Cover Gasket without removing engine

[JJohnson]

Its apparently possible to change the gasket without taking the engine out...

This guy on youtube did it. But I cant figure out how to get the screw by the frame out... at 1:13 the video shows a s shaped tool which I have but I cant find a tool that fits in there. Any ideas?

Don,t forget thats a new gasket the guys removing, An old original is going to be quite hard and possibly stuck to the engine or valve cover. I did not actually see him removing it with that offset screwdriver in the video, You could try a phillips driver bit with a I believe a 1/4" 6 point box wrench while adding pressure with say a large screwdriver between the frame and bit. Good luck on it if You try it.
