Much, much easier to do this with the manifold removed. I can be done with the manifold in place, but you need to know where all the bolts are ahead of time. You will also need some double-jointed wrists and stubby wrenches ;-)

A related question: does anyone know the part number for the filter off hand? I need to replace one and would like to order the replacement online, but can't find the part number.

Thanks,

Jeff
