I will be attempting to change the rocker cover on my car this weekend, does anyone know of any special tools I'll need and does anyone have any advice or guidance on how easy it is.

Thanks

Should be a straightforward job; the rocker cover's only held on by a couple of bolts. Don't over-tighten them though as they have a tendency to shear

Don't let too much dirt and scuzz get in the engine while the cover's off (obviously) and it might be an idea to take the opportunity to clean the cover and head (if it's dirty) to make any subsequent leaks easier to spot.
