first, do yourself a favor and remove the hood for clearance. then remove the whole air filter assembly. I had a 9/16 on ratchet and that worked but prob a 14mm. the airbox clamp was 10mm.
Then remove the bracket that supports hood rod, engine side of muffler. there are 4 bolts (iirc 12mm) from bracket to muffler.
on exhaust pipe side are 3 bolts, 1 for the pipe clamp to bracket and 2 holding the bracket into exhaust manifold utilizing the manifold holes. those 2 bolts are 14mm.
there is one bolt on rear of engine that holds the bracket to the lifting eye on engine.
then remove buss bar, small nuts are 7mm
then pull the plugs themselves. I used 12mm 1/4inch drive.
then cover all holes up because the frigging package that USPS says will be delivered today could not move 50 miles in 38+ hours. oh well its sitting 12 miles from me and will be here tomorrow.
hood off gives me chance to fix dent in hood as well as move upper rad hose a touch to prevent rubbing on air filter housing.
