Soon you will be an expert with those clips! I ended up removing the the electrical box top and popping out the plastic connectors to give me a little more room. I think I could do it now without removing electrical box top.

The cable will pull out a little from under the intake. Give it slack form the other end ( the battery cable that you unbolted). Push it under the intake to give you slack to pull from the other end.

The water hoses should be able to be pushed out of the way. You will need to undo a clip that get in the way. I think it helps guide the hoses.

I did not need to unhook any water hoses..


Hard plastic hose is the differential vent hose.

Good luck. I used aircraft paint remover to get the old paint off. That stuff is lethal!
