Default Replacing VC gasket??

Hey guys i was wondering how hard is it to replace my spark plug seals and valved cover gasket on 95 Teg.
I see that theres 7 bolts to remove the VC. I'm wondering if its as easy as just putting the VC gasket over and sliding the new spark plug seal in. Are they any special tools or anything important that should be done? It looks like an easy do, but let me know, if there more to it then let me know and i'll just go ahead and have someone else do it. Thanks.

Its just as easy as you stated.Just remove the 10mm nuts and lift the valvecover off. Just dont flip it over without taking the little seals under the nuts or else theyll drop everywhere.
I think the helms manual calls for a dab of hondabond on the corners of the cam caps to help ensure against leakage.
