Yes. You can do the valves themselves w/o taking out the airbox. They lift up vertically out of the V as they are mounted flush against the head flush at the bank angle. (ie, they run perindicular to the head bank itself).
To clean/check the screens, you need to take the airbox off. The screens are behind 14mm(?) headed flange bolts that run at right angles to the valves themselves (ie, lengthwise of the head, exiting at the very back). Then reach a thin screwdriver in to work them out or use tweezers. They are fine mesh coned filters so if you stick something it to pull them out, do it gently.
You have to look and poke around some hoses but nothing is blocking any of it too badly.

I checked them today - looked almost new - which is good. Was a 14mm.
So I removed my bank 2 solenoid only to realize that the part I received from a seller on Ebay sent me the Bank 1 solenoid LOL. My fault for not double checking I guess. Still, I dont know whether I want to do business with them in the future. Anyway, the Bank 2 solenoid looked pretty clean and almost new to my eye. Could have been replaced at some point, I don't know at this point. I guess the correct question is would an old solenoid with 170k miles on it show noticeable corrosion?
