Anyway to move engine covers away?

[Clr4ils]

Finally did a whole apollo 11 esq mission. Had a question though. When I want to disconnect the command module from the lunar module there is the cover over the engine of the service module. The one that automatically placed there when you put a stage separator on. So when you disconnect them it's just floating there between them. So when I go to flip the command module to dock up I have to do like a box maneuver around the engine cover to hook up. I tried to connect a little rocket on it to scoot it out of the way but it won't let me connect anything to it.

What do you guys do to get it out of the way? I tried "kicking" it with the nozzle from the service module but it just sort of sinks into it.

Cliffs notes::::: two ways to solve...separate explosive stage separators for the cowling with stock parts.

Or get the nova punch addon has cool fairings and such that split off.

I use the impulse from jettisoning the fairing to propel me back to the lander and dock

But how do you get around the leftover fairing? I think in the real thing it splits into four sections that go away from it. Or they turn around and pull out the lem with command module.

I don't need to go around it, I have another decoupler (actually I use the docking port) that I uncouple, drift away a bit then turn around and fire the decoupler on the engine

This sends the fairing off into space and kicks me forwards, back to the lander

that seems kinda clever

Brilliant.
