Default Rocker box removal

Is there a trick to removing the 3-piece rocker box covers on a 2003 Sportster?I tried and tried but just couldn't get the spacer and bottom cover off.I got the top off,barely,but it did come off with some effort.Do I need to remove the engine to get the bottoms off?I bought the chrome replacements and would like to put them on myself.If not I will take to the dealer,but seiing that it's winter here in Ohio that won't happen till spring.Thanks for any help

Do you have the factory manual? You need to remove the rockers to get the lower one off.
