Yeh as myki said just undo all the bolts and slide it out. Its really easy.

Make sure you have all new gaskets to hand when putting it back together.

Rocker cover gasket

Inlet mani gasket

TB gasket.

never done anything like it before, i assume gaskets are quite cheap? GSF car parts sell them? or is better to go to seat?

what is a gasket without sounding ridiculously stupid? like a seal type thing?

im trying to get more hands on...always dropped my car off and let someone else do the dirty work but want that to change lol

I hadnt either until 2 weeks ago, i was a little worried about removing it all but it really was easy.

Personaly i`d say replace them all while there out, chances are they havent been replaced since she came out of the factory, so its not going to harm putting some new`uns in! but thats up to you.

I fitted a Phenolic Insulator Gasket while my mani was off, saved removing it at a later date.

I'm down to 10 mins to take my rocker off.

I can even do it now with the charge pipe in place but the bracket undone. lol.
