Absolutely, but I need to know what engine you have in the vehicle. I attached a pic below showing the possibilities. Let me know which you have.

Hi,

The directions I have for that engine is basically a picture of the components in an exploded view. It shows what needs to come apart to remove the manifold.

Before you start working, disconnect the battery. Then remove the air filter box and intake tube which runs between the airbox and throttle body.

Take a look through the pic and let me know if it helps. If it doesn't, please let me know where I can jump in and explain what to do.

Also, is there a leak or something that is requiring you to remove this?

Take care,
Joe

Often times a gasket will fail on the intake. That's why I asked. Are the directions I provided helpful or do you have questions?
