just snug it. I was gonna say it might not be too bad with the correct socket. But I still pull the intake becuase I dont feel like fighting around everything else.

yeah it was just a little bit of a pain but i switched em in like 5 minutes. just pulled the pcv crossover and did it. Ive deleted the AIR system already so it wasent in the way. going though all the bs to pull the intake woulda been a complete waste of time
