(Circled in image 2)
3. Remove the oil level gauge.
CAUTION:
Cover the oil level gauge guide openings to avoid entry of foreign materials.
4. Remove electric throttle control actuator and position aside.
CAUTION:
- Handle electric throttle control actuator carefully and avoid impacts.
- Never disassemble or adjust electric throttle control actuator.

6. Disconnect vacuum hose for brake booster from intake manifold.
7. Remove intake manifold support front (1) and bolt from rear (2).
- Bracket (2) is not removed. Remove bolt from intake manifold.
(See image 4)

10. Remove intake manifold support (center) from cylinder head, if necessary.
NOTE:
The intake manifold support (center) functions as the guide when the intake manifold is installed.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
- Pay attention to the condition and orientation of the gasket, demonstrated in image 6. I recommend replacing with a new gasket for peace of mind and for a complete repair.
