This will save you lots of trouble installing them and removing them next time (10-mm open-end wrench (ring Note: If these two connectors are cheese-head screws, replace them with 10-mm hex-head bolts. This is awkward and you'll be working largely by feel.

On the left side of the car, reach down in front (front) of the fan housing with a 10mm box-end wrench (ring spanner) and remove the bolt for the oil cooler cover and the bolt that holds the fan housing to the oil cooler flange.

You must remove the brackets to get enough clearance to lift the fan shroud.

Remove the engine lid and the engine lid hinge brackets.

Disconnect the spark plug wires from the attachments in the fan housing (three places).

Disconnect the ignition cable from the coil and the fresh air tubes on either side of the fan housing.

Remove the strap that holds the alternator to the support.

Disconnect the wire to the backup lights at the in-line fuse (where fitted).

Label and then detach the electrical connectors from the alternator.

Remove the cable from the negative terminal of the battery.

Pull out the accelerator cable guide tube and pull the accelerator cable forward, out of the fan housing.

Remove the fuel pump, as it will be in the way later when you need to secure the manifold tongue to the engine case.

Disconnect the incoming fuel line to the fuel pump and plug it.

Steps in this procedure shown in red do not need to be performed if you are only removing the end pieces. However, it you are only removing the manifold end pieces, you do not need to remove or partially remove the fan housing. With the engine in the car, you must partially remove the fan housing before you can completely remove the intake manifold, or before you can remove the alternator.
