IIRC, you'll need to move the throttlebody. Disconnect the throttle/TV cables, cruise if it's there, and don't lose the clips! Then remove the 4 bolts holding the TB in place, and you should be able to move it out of the way. Otherwise, maybe you can swing a ratcheting box wrench in there under the throttlebody. Good luck!
