EVO 8 valve cover gasket leak- removal instruction

Hi guys,

I am trying to replace the valve cover gasket. I don't really see a DIY here. So I was wondering what's the correct way to pull the two PCV hose? The one on the top seems to be held by a flange but the one on the side is wrapped by two black rubber coating without a flange. How do you pull it off?

Also the metal hose connecting the BOV to the manifold, can I just leave it along? If there is a DIY write up or video could you please point me to the right direction?

I found a video on youtube, but the guy already took off the PCV and intake manifold.

Thanks!

just pull the hoses off...

loosen all the bolts on the valve cover in a cross pattern.
pull off.

clean it all up
put the gasket seal on the corner of the lobes...
put the new gasket on...
