I unclipped the six metal clips holding the cover of the intake muffler. Unfastened the hose clamp(10) and got stuck. The intake muffler(1) and the rubber boot with resonator(11) seem like they are connected and soldered together. So I couldn't take the cover off.

When I fastened the hose clamp back on, the extra bit that comes from tightening the metal band didn't align with the rest, so I unscrewed it and tried it again. While doing that I dropped the flat screwdriver in the engine compartment and I had to go under the car, partially open the metal cover that protects the front mid section of the underbody and use a long stick to get it. It was a freakily scary experience.
