Default Ironhead question

hey every one, I was wondering if it is possible to remove the cam side cover without haviing to re adjust any thing.my 76 ironhead needs the oil lines replaced and it seems like it would be easier to just remove the cam cover to get to the lines on the top.I had a shop qote me like $400 to replace the cam cover,becouse of the bushing,but if I am using the same cover is all of that work needed? thanks in advance.
