Two questions as I start down this road... Do you need the tool as described in the manual if you remove the tank? How difficult would you say changing the upper and lower covers out is? I am concerned about getting half way through this and only to find out I am over my head.

Removing the tank is easy, just messy if you don't have all the fuel out. I removed my rocker boxes and swapped out my pushrod tubes and lifter blocks without pulling the tank. Pulling the tank would have taken an extra 5 minutes at the beginning of the job, and probably saved me 20 minutes during the course of the job. If/when you pull the tank, install a quick-disconnect on the crossover.
