replacing valve cover gasket

I have never done this before. Is there anything I should know before I do this?

its very simple remove the 4 screws covering the spark plug cover then you have your coils remove the front 3 not the plugs just the coils then theres 10 bolts and 2 hoses one on the right and on the top part fairly simple job

Is your valve cover gasket leaking? Mine on the back set is leaking. It looks like too much hassle because the whole intake manifold has to be taken off to get the the valve cover. It can't be that easy.
