The first time I took the valve cover and put it back on again I had no real difficulties, however the second time I had a devil of a job getting it back on again, mainly because of the locator horn on the valve cover would not quite clear the hose clip even with it moved a few millimetres towards the right side of teh bike. There's a very precise geometry and once it goes, it goes, but I never quite figured it out oustide of trial and error.
For this reason I'd consider removing the hose entirely, but it's up to you. Some people leave the whole thing on, I've no idea how they do it.
