you need to..
1. take the spark plug wires off of the spark plugs 2. take off the spark plug tube nuts (4) underneath the spark plug wires 3. take off the washers/ spacers underneath the spark plug tube nuts 4. take a block of wood and a hammer to jar the valve cover loose because it will be snug... or take a putty knife and pry underneath the valve cover that should do it for you |

Does the 7A have the spark plug tube nuts? I can't see them if it does.

^you dont have to, just unplug the plugs (pull them off CAREFULLY! DONT YANK THEM OUT!) and set them aside, its a good idea to mark them so you dont mix them up when you put them back

You don't need to, they're numbered 1-4 and they have different lengths for each, 1 being the longest, 4 being the shortest
