Valve Covers on Left Side

[Chipmunkz]

Ive been tearing my engine down and the valve covers on the side with the oil filler neck wont come off due to water hoses and alternator is there another way to get it off to get to the heads beside taking everything off.

that solid pipe assembly is a pain in the ass, I replaced mine with rubber hose cause I was tired of it being a ***** to remove.
