Default 84 cross-fire question

This is actually a two part question-First question:

(I know this may seem like a really stupid question) but how do I remove the lower portion of the air cleaner on a 84 cross-fire? I'm relatively new to Corvettes and until I purchased my 84 a year ago had never really looked at a cross-fire engine.
It appears it's held in place by four hex bolts (two on ea side of throttle bodies) and of course the associated hoses.
I need to remove the lower portion in order to access and replace a leaky rocker arm cover on the drivers side. I'll likely replace the gasket on both sides since the both covers are an eyesore and while I have them both off I might as well paint the covers.

Second question:

I also have a leaking rear main seal, what type of tool will best suit me to install the upper part of that seal?

Thanks, Dave

You are correct. It's just those four bolts into the throttle bodies, it always seems to need a couple extra turns once they seem backed out (they stay attached to the air cleaner.)
