  They are typically 11mm and you will need a deep well socket for the studs. On the Cherokee, there is one in the back near the firewall that could be difficult to access. Make the most of a 3/8 drive socket mounted on a universal joint to access it.
  
  With all the bolts out, carefully bump the cover with all your hand or a rubberized hammer to break the seal. Carefully lift it off the head taking care to never drop trash into your valve area.
  
  Scrape off the old gasket material. If you're working the earlier RTV type seal, a Scotchbrite wheel on a drill will be helpful to clean the covers. I mount mine inside my drill press to help it become easier to handle.
  
  Clean the top mounting surface as properly.
  
  For your gasket style, simply place the gasket to the head. Pay attention to cleaning throttle body the two locating dowels to verify the gasket is correctly aligned. For the RTV style, apply a thick quite possibly bead of silicone on the cover and let it sit for five minutes before installing the cover.
