The biggest PITA IMO was actually the hose clamp under the manifold, and getting the manifold itself off.

The hose clamp under the manifold came off easy for me (used curved plyers to push clamp further down hose, then used a large flat head to carefully push a little corner of the each side of the hose off the connector) it pulled right off. Taking the damn manifold out was the tricky part, it will rub and get stuck on the left side. There is wire connected to the bracket supporting the manifold that took me forever to figure out how to pull off because I didn't want to break it (don't push tab, but pull tab outward then push the connector up). The bottom nut can then be reached pretty easy with an extension. Good luck man
