Default How does one remove the passenger side valve cover?

Hello,

I am working on replacing the upper chain tensioners for a 2000 s-type v8. How does one go about removing the passenger side valve cover? I removed all the bolts, coils, etc. But something in the back (firewall side) is holding the cover, preventing me from pulling/lifting the cover off. I think it's the coil wiring harness. If this is correct, any suggestion on how to disconnect this harness from the cover?

Many thanks for your help.

It's a chrismas tree clip that retains the loom .
you just pull it up and out of the hole it's pushed through .
It may have a cable tie if some one has been there before.

Thanks Datsports, just didn't have the nerve to pull real hard. But finally did it.
