Once you figure out how to remove and reinstall the crossover pipe, the second and subseqent times are easy and that's what I meant. Once you remove all the bolts (5 on the passenger side, 1 on the driver side) give the pipe a good whack from the front with a rubber mallet if it's stuck. To put it back, lube all the rubber seals, push the pipe coupling into the crossover pipe, attach the vacuum hose to the bottom of the pipe, then attach the pipe to the intake manifold (at the driver's side) and then at the passenger side. Tighten the driver's side bolt first, then do the 5 on the passenger side.
