Valve Cover Removal Problem

[DuManchu]

I did a search and found no mention of the problem I'm having.

On the bolt second from the last on the drivers side, the fuel injector harness is in the way and I don't know if I'm supposed to remove the harness or what. It doesn't flex enough to just move it aside to get to the bolt, I'm afraid I'm going to snap something.

Anybody have any ideas?

There's a bolt to loosen the harness from the top of the head about 2 inches rearward. the metal 90 degree harness bracket is kinda hidden in the plastic strap that holds the corrugated plastic tube around the harness. Generally you'll break the plastic clip molded into that strap by pulling the harness straight up, which is no biggie as it will simply slip back on and be held in place. But if you can get to the single screw that holds that bracket on , you can then simply push the wires aside.
