Default Removing RHS spark plug cover

It looks like I need to remove the air tube between the filter and the intake, before I can remove the spark plug cover on the drivers side. Is this correct? Anyone got a link to the removal, or some pics? Quite a few hoses connected there.

I would remove it just to give yourself some space. Alwasy easier to work with the right tools and alot of room to move around.

Yeah I actually just had to do it myself to change spark plugs, it's bit of a pain in the butt. To have any room you need to remove the air intake and the toughest part is getting the last big airtube of the throttle body!! Was fun! You will need a think edged socket to get the screws undone that are on the plastic covering. Any q's feel free to ask.
