First and for most, get everthing thats in the way out of the way, keep the area clean around and under the vehical. The hood, remove it, if its out of the way it keeps your head from bleeding, trust me. Next is the battery and complete air box. There is a 12mm nut/bolt combination to the left of it wich also holds an A/C line. Theres 2 12mm bolts inside the airbox also holding the airbox down. Unplug the MAF sensor theres 2 hoses also, remove them from the engine side to cut the clutter, one leads to the PCV just pop the PCV out and leave it conected to the hose and the other goes to the left side of the motor. Theres a phillips screw hose clamp holding the pipe to the throttle body. Remove the entire assembly as one piece so it speeds reassemly. Ok, ive gotten a little bit more then that done but the rest requires pics so it easyer to understand. Keep everthing organized like tools and just about everthing because theres alot more parts on the way. Bag all of the small parts with lables. Some of the bolts can be replaced without being in the way, use your own judjment on wich ones to do this with. This also helps you during assembly because it keeps you from having to figure out were it goes.
