I assume to get at the ICV I need to remove at least the plenum. I figured I would just unscrew six hose clamps and pull the boots off the horns, remove the breather and the oil vent, and that should do it. Any other tips/comments? I assume you don't want to go at it by removeing the first segment of the horns (2 bolts each)...

NO .... do not attempt to pull the boots off of the horns. Remove the air cleaner box, crossover breather hose, and each of the (12) 6mm bolts. The horns have O-rings under them so becareful and U can reuse.

There is a drain hose out of the bottom that canbe a PITA ... you can leave it and do the ICV.

Seams harder than it is ... takes 1 hr the first time. 15 min after that.
