Rocker box changeover

I've got my 2006 Twin Cam engine out and sitting on a stand. I have a full set of chrome rocker inner boxes and covers to swap out as it currently has the plain dull aluminum set installed.
The rocker top covers obviously easy, but can I easily pull the rockers and bits off to swap over the inner boxes without a big messy job?
Is it a simple as TDC on each cylinder and pull the rocker arms or is it much more complex.
Now that the engine is out and full free access.
The chrome top cover look very nice but would like to do the full swap over if easy.

Thx

Yes, it's that easy. If you had the service manual for your bike, you would know that........
