Removing engine cover with strut tower brace?

[FrankAR15]

Is there anyway possible to remove the engine cover without removing the strut tower brace?
I thought it would be simple(4 bolts), but on the left side, looks like the positive battery terminal wire(possibly others) in a tube runs right over it.
Looks like if I loosen the right side 2 bolts, and loosen left enough to lift the brace up to the wires, it might be enough to slip out the engine cover?

I’m sure someone has tried. It’s only to put red lettering on the “powered by ford” insets.

The wire loom pops off.

Regardless, I am pretty sure I have removed my cover with the (OEM) STB on.

I switched out my engine cover, I could not get it off with the brace on. Maybe I didn't try hard enough. I replaced it with one that is painted so I figured I would scratch the crap out of the new one.
