Can Someone clear this up for me, PLEASE?!?

OK Im changing my coils on a 2004. If I can just remove the accordion piece then I can leave the airbox in, I wont have any problems reaching. Am I able to just take out the accordion piece or just move it out of the way somehow? If so, will someone just give me a quick how-to? I really want to do it myself and not have any man hands in there. Thanks!

You will not be able to remove the accordion tube without lifting out the intake box.
Remove it then you will be able to take off the tube. The video below shows how easy it can be. LIKE THIS

Surprisingly, I know how to remove the box, but I dont know if I will have the muscle. Guess I will give it my best shot in the morning and see what happens. Thanks for the post!

Good luck! Check your local area forum, there may be someone willing to give you a hand in your part of the world!

Not sure where Miami, Oklahoma is but the Oklahoma City guys are fairly active and i'm sure would be willing to give you a hand.

That video would have helped me quite a bit. I had no idea it was so easy.
