Is there any way at all to get it off without removing that right bracket thing (if sitting in driver's seat)?

Did you get the right side which is passenger side off yet? Last I recall you leave the one on the left (driver's side) on.

That's the one I'm talking about, the one on the passenger's side. Me and my dad didn't take it off because he thought it would be way too hard and he thought there should be an easier way. If you HAVE to take it off, how do you do it? and is it hard?

Yup, it is a PITA but doable. To get to the valve cover bolts on the passenger side (right) you have to remove the complete ignition control module and coil pack assembly. That includes the mounting bracket you see them on. Then remove the right bracket for the engine mount to get the valve cover off.

Wow that sucks! And we thought the back would be the hardest to get to considering we had to disconnect a bunch of things and remove like 3 brackets lol.

Removing the coil pack bracket isn't a big deal. It should take no more than about 25 minutes to remove it. Don't be intimidated by the design. Its not a big deal to remove.
Tip: Got huge hands? Remove the battery to gain more space to get at the bracket bolts.
