Just how hard of a job is this ?
Ive seen a video on Youtube and it looks easy to remove the hoses
but how tough is it to put them back on ?
Not much room to work and u have to stick the hoses back on
in a tight space.
Even if jacked up it looks hard to get your hands in there
from the bottom of the car.
Video says to remove the valve from the bottom of the
car. Anyone remove it from the top ?
so many wires and small hoses in the way topside.
and tips on making this job easier ?
thanks
Best way is to remove the intake manifold. If you have big arms/hands then you will have no choice but to remove the manifold.
Good idea to label the hoses with masking tape and take a picture.

I used this youtube, if you do not want to remove the intake, you need small and flexible arms/hands, but for the lower hose you have to go from the bottom of the car https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD9FBtSTLv4
