You have to take the LIM (lower intake manifold) Off, if im not mistaken. to take them out. But why would you do that unless they are stuck? you should beable to move them by hand to make sure they arte turning., Mine are Wired OPEN. and dissconnected the part that turns them

make sure you insert them the same way you took them out and use a wire brush for cleaning. using some engine oil in the aux ports help keep them moving smoothly. you might want to spray a lot of wd40/lube into the actuator. once you remove the aux ports youll notice how the air kind of gets trapped at the end of the insert. when i had my n/a i removed some metal to make it similar to the atkins aux port inserts.

i noticed how strong and responsive my 3.5k launch was after cleaning them. since your going to remove your uim/lim might as well clean the inside of it. 2o year old car has a bucket full of carbon
