Sorry about it; take a break until tomorrow.

Yes, you will need to remove the three bolts that hold the engine and separate it from the frame in order to have room to work.

I don't think that you can replace that bolt with a generic one because the step is for avoiding crushing the cover besides sealing against the neoprene washer.
