It's not hard, but intimidating.

If you have the tube in the back still hooked up, it is probably easier to take it off from the rear of the intake rather then the manifold.

Disconnect the harness to give yourself room and then just work it off. Having 2 hands help. Also a good dead soft hammer can be used to get it broken loose.

The nice thing about these is you don't have to drain the Coolant.

Oh yeah another thing.. Keep the fuel rail connected. Just use the fuel line disconnect tools to get the lines off but keep the rail attached to the manifold
