Broken tappet
hairygit:
Because the rocker shafts which the rockers ride on are fitted into the cover. When you remove the cover all the rockers come off with it, slacking the tappets reduces the upward pressure on the cover making it easier to refit, the broken one will not cause any problems removing the cover ;D
Trigger:
Slacken off all the tappets so they are not compressing the valves. Not sure where you live, but if it's anywere near me i have a nice 3/4 drive britool torque bar that does the job. Try not to be so heavy handed.

3/4 drive, that's HGV stuff, and you say don't be heavy handed lol ;D ;D ;D
Trigger:
It was a joke mate. That's why i wrote, not to be so heavy handed. A 3/8 drive torque bar is needed.

And before reassembly please read about the correct method using elastic bands...no joke.
