PM if u want more detail but i think sum1 offered u to call so good luck!!
(bolded for emphasis)

again, i repeat, you do NOT need to take bolts/screws out. as a matter of fact, you don't need to use any tools at any time aside from removing the airbox and the washer fluid filler hose.

or just go to the above-posted link and you'll see why.
