you don't need to remove the cover to change spark plugs. just unbolt the 3 coils in the front, pull them out, then change the front 3 spark plugs.

then reach around in the rear, pull out the plug boot, then change the spark plug. there are 3 in the rear. yuu'll just have to feel for them. took me a while but i got them done.

Perhaps there's a misunderstanding here. . .

The plastic V-bank cover vs the valve cover? The V-bank cover comes off after removal of the two hex cap nuts and pull towards you and up. The Valve cover need not be removed.

As you pull the cover towards you two spring clips will disengage. You'll see once off.

PS - that's a 95 up there and has 6 coil packs. Yours only has three in the front and then three wires to the rear. The rear is fun for some and less fun for others but easily done in a couple hours. I suggest an assortment of 3/8" drive extensions and good quality spark plug socket that doesn't drop the plug.

Thank you.

I did search from here for two days and I did not get the answer. I have the manual book, but it just says remove the two bolts, but do not talk about how to remove it. It say there are two clips under the cover, but how to let the cover off? I think I am not the good operator. I will try to learn it.
