Drivers side.. here ya go
Remove engine compartment brace.

2. Remove windshield wiper module assembly. Refer to «Section 01-16».

3. Remove positive crankcase ventilation valve from crankcase ventilation grommet and move out of the way.

4. Remove oil level indicator tube retaining nut from valve cover.

5. Remove four nuts retaining LH ignition wire cover and remove cover.

6. CAUTION: Do not pull on the ignition wire as the ignition wire may separate from the connector in the boot.

Disconnect ignition wires from spark plugs with a gentle twist/pull motion on the spark plug boot.

7. Disconnect and position clutch release lever cable out of the way; refer to.

8. Position fuel charging wiring out of way.

9. Remove bolts and stud bolt retaining LH valve cover to cylinder head.

10. The valve cover may be difficult to remove. Do not pry or force valve cover as damage may occur.

Note: With the valve cover removed, make sure the spark plug bore-to-valve cover seals are in place on the spark plug bore towers of the valve cover

Carefully remove valve cover.

Hope this helps.
