Help: Rocker Cover Gasket Replacement

[Tomko]

Hi everyone,

In the middle of a job and I'm in a pickle and in need of help.

Have followed videos that have got me to the point of removing coil packs but there is a "rubber sleeve"- for lack of a better word to describe it - connecting fuel injector side of things to the other and I can't figure out how to remove it.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I removed the injector connectors ( not the fuel rail and injectors) lambda sensor plugs ( label which is which) and oil switches and then you can lift over to the other side and out the way.
Picture as below, you can see it at the back of the photo.

Oh and be careful with the injector 'clips' you can lift them to unlatch with a small screwdriver but dont loose them. When the plastic is off you lift off and immediately put the clips back to latch position ready to put back on when the job is done. It will just click to every injector when you push on.

This now feels like something so obvious looking at it... thanks!

Got to the point where everything was off apart from those two clips and I was trying to loosen something on the other side to flip it the other way over.
