Default Tune Up/ Throttle Body

I have a 92 sc300 5sp i just bought and im trying to replace the valve cover gasket but i cant get the throttle body off. Ive been trying for the last 3hrs and just cant get it off. The left side closest to the windshield just doesnt give enough. What am I doing wrong or missing? Any suggestions would be helpful and maybe some pictures. Please help

There is a water line connected on the bottom of the tbody make sure to disconnect that. Something else that will help is the lower nuts that screw off the long studs. Instead of taking the nuts off get one of those star sockets and unscrew the entire stud out. Sorry dont have any pictures. Also Im pretty sure this is in the wrong section.
