i did it when i had the valve cover off. it will break off coming out. i broke the head and stuck a punch in there and pried it off. then i thought that i might have been able to cut slits on the grommet to relieve the strength.

I know i probably sound like an idiot i have not had a whole lot of mechanical experience. dont laugh when i ask this but on a scale of one to ten how time consuming and difficult is removing the valve cover mine is in need of a new paint job the previous owner lived in the keys so the salt has not helped...

just the screws that hold it down. a monkey can get it off. although i think he might have a hard time painting it and cleaning it. hmm, you never know. 21st century, anything is possible. but anyway, the hose clamp on the thermostat housing will get in the way a bit, but that's not really an issue. it is a good opportunity to go ahead and get that hose off, drain the coolant and put a new thermostat and coolant in while you're at it. oh, and a new valvecover gasket. just don't overtorque the screws.
