Derby and Timer covers

Can I change the derby cover without draining the lubricant?

Also, any issues with removing the timer cover as well?

Want to replace both with the black fin covers.

Thanks

Yes you can remove both without any problems.

there is no fluid behind the timing... if you put a 2x4 under the stand (basicly get it level) you can swap the primary as well

I did mine on the stand without a spill. It also uses a different gasket.

Like they said; and you will need a gasket for the derby cover when you swap it out.
Here is a black finned timer cover.....
