You should use a special tool to remove and install the cam cover but it cam be done without it.

There is a picture somewhere here on the site people have made the tools. Some have used c-clamps and wood to compress it.

I've seen the C-clamp and wood method used that tech mentioned. Worked pretty well for the guy doing the job
