How can i get this off so i can re-seal it while the motors in the car all together?
I know the steps as far as removing the oil pickup inside the motor, 2x10mm bolts under the valve cover, waterpump, crank pulley and all the other 10mm bolts i just cant pull the cover off! 
I cant pull it strait forward because the portion that the oil pick up bolts to sits lower than the edge that it needs to go over…and the crank being there going threw the cover doesn’t allow me to tilt the cover very much to tilt it forward and come up and over.
Ive done this in the past without the head on the engine and its still a bitch, yet alone trying not to mess up the bead of sealant when putting it back on which is why im certain its leaking from the cover. There has to be a simpler way of doing this…please help.
