Re: taking off valve covers
They seal pretty tight,but grab those little tabs and rock it back and forth.It will come off.If that fails you could gently pry with a flat bat,but be careful not to gouge up the cambox.Replace the gaskets.Good luck,

Re: taking off valve covers
Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the cover on the two triangle like protrusions on each cover. You really can't really hurt it with a rubber mallet.
