Step 1
Remove the two screws holding the air box in, I have a habit of re-screwing the fasteners where I can back into the threads where possible, this way you dont loose them plus you know where they came from.

More fun stuff! You can barely see the 1/4 inch drive ratchet, they have a bolt in the back of the manifold, remove it completely.

Step 9
no pic, but remove all the upper (top) mounting bolts of the intake, make note of where they came from because they are different lengths. MOST IMPORTANT!!! BEFORE YOU REMOVE THE INTAKE REMOVE THE PLASTIC BUSHINGS, AND CLEAR YOUR WORK AREA OF ANY TOOLS AND HARDWARE. As you remove it there is a vacuum line still connected in the valve cover in the back, you can pry it off with a flat head. once this is off IMMEDIATELY STUFF RAGS IN THE CHAMBERS!!!

Step 11
Just a shot of the plug, make sure your spark plug socket has the rubber grommet in it to grip the plug and is securly in it, you can test it with the new one.

Step 12 
I just cleaned the seals and blew out the retaining grooves.
Couple notes when putting it back together, make sure the vacuum line is routed corretly to the valve cover, and the first bolt you need to secure when bolting back up is the rear one against the firewall.... other than that not much to it. just takes awhile.
