that rear clip that everyone is talking about.... i took the front tube off, then i removed the actual valve from it's mount, and i was able to rotate it to get a better grip of the clip. Then, PUSH IN towards the valve, and press the clip, and mine came right off. I did this repair along with Throttle actuators. Getting the plenum to sit in the back was difficult. I asked a Indy shop friend who recommended wiping some silicon lubricant on the surface, and that helped.

Thanks for the great write up!
