3rd Generation Replacing rear valve cover gasket-HELP

Hi, I'm replacing the valve cover gaskets of my 3vz-fe.problem is the wires on the rear cover block the way to the firewall side bolts.I was trying to find how to remove it but failed.What I can see is there is a clip on Diaganose and another one on the timing belt cover,but they were not working and one bolt on the cover. Does anybody know if there is any trick to get to thpse bolts?

Thak you very much and by the way I'm planning to replace my timing belt and water pump after these gaskets.

bump, plus...
please be a bit more discriptive,

also, the timing belt is a biatch, water pump isnt too bad, i recommend getting a gasket w/ the water pump (they make gaskets for them now) also get a new crank bolt, cause its a pain to get off, and you have to put alot of torque on it when putting it back in.
