the intake is a two piece you should be able to take the top half of the intake off without having to take off the plenum also if you have a/c theres a bolt in the back top part that hold a braket for a line you will have to remove aswell


right where the three tubes go down theres the bolts on each side and that splits the intake

Thank you, needs a gasket them also. This seems like really poor engineering too make it so hard to do a tuneup. But I love me ranger starts every day runs good. Not a burner either or leaker. Thank you and good day. Oh how do I get at the last two plugs on passenger side. From beneath not nearly enough room from top. Do I need anything like a spc.. Tool to make it easier. Thanks Mark.
