Once you remove the 2 10mm nut's that hold the hard
line to eather rear head, & once you remove the 2
heater core rubber hoses that pass through the
firewall, & once you remove the 13mm bolt that anchors
the hard line to the pass side....side of the head, &
once you remove the rubber coolant hose that comes
from the coolant res it's a piece of cake to yank off
& manuver out.

 I would say that the use of a 10mm wrench aided in
losening the driver side 10mm nut for the hard line.
There's the cruise/throttle cable bracket, ECU
grounds, & some other stuff close by that nut.
 But I used a 1/4 inch socket/ratchet with extension
to fully losen it.
 All so removing the 3 T-30 torx bolts that hold down
the spark plug wire holder to the back of the Intake
made the hard line easier to manuver out. 

 You will lose coolant...so have some mixed & ready to
go. & I'm sure I don't need to tell you that distilled
water is best :-)
