New to forum, how do i remove the valve cover...99

[KieferS]

Hello all, new to the Toyota scence, actually i'm not in the scene at all, but it's my moms car, and i wanted to replace the valve cover gasket, and learn any extra things i can just hanging around. My car is a 97 jetta, with 400k miles and the camry has 320k miles on it, our cars always get beat to the floor before we discard them.

So to my question, my moms car is a 99 camry...on my jetta, i just have to take the manifold, the throttle body and a couple dozen vacuum lines off and i can get to the screws for the valve cover. I don't see any screws or anything to remove the toyota valve cover. How do i remove it?

Thanks http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/re...066&i=23490726

Bump.

Pull out the sparkplug tubes from the valve cover and underneath you will find the retaining nuts. Good luck!

They are actually retaining nuts and they are a 30MM hex.
