Your TB spray trick worked like a charm. Barely had to spray any down there, and it worked through instantly. It popped off so easy after and didn't break anything pulling it out. Thank you!

It seemed to work since I was able to wiggle them out and the nipples bad liquid from the TB cleaner spray. Putting them back was tricky as you have to slide them in while pushing down on the lower intake which has a bit of movement to allow the part to go in. I took the car for a spin and acceleration seems better and smoother than before.
