starting to tear off the intake, is there a way to remove it without dismantling the intake piece by piece?

 

ihscouts says he takes them off as one assembly, disconnect all the hoses and linkage. Valve covers need to be off to allow lower intake to lift up. Take pictures, put small parts in bags with notes, account for all tools when done.

 

Ok, got it off, turns out my everything is leaking haha

Oh the joys.

 

Ok, a bit more removed. looks like the HG's are leaking, can I get a second opinion?
