Yep, looks easy. Several video's. Two show it's not so easy and the foolish folks trying, made errors. One mangled the front fitting that holds a hose by trying to remove old one while still on OEM. After several tried they managed it so bad it didn't fit the new cover! Also, wherever they bought the new colored cover it did not have what they called heat insulation like the OEM. It's there for sound deadening NOT HEAT!

Yep, one of the CAUTIONS in my "How To Install" PDF states:
"Loosen the four 10 mm bolts holding the engine cover in place. Note they are not very tight, relatively low torque required. That is what should be used when reinstalling! Only use a wrench to loosen each bolt a few threads. Then use you hand to remove it completely and put it in a safe place. YOU DON’T WANT TO DROP A BOLT!” I dropped a screwdriver and it did NOT fall on the ground! But was easy to retrieve. A bolt might not be so easy! "
