It'll come out of the hell hole it's in, but it's not easy. The official MB description works pretty good but I forget how it says to do it. Lift up on one side, rotate 90 degrees, etc etc. Only 4 screws hold it to the manifold, you're supposed to replace those, plus a new gasket. The gasket is tough to get it to stay there and not get damaged when trying to put it back in, it's harder to get it back in than take it out. Yes, get new breather hoses as it's especially tough to put back in the hole without flexible hoses, the originals will be rock hard, as you can imagine the heat down in there when the engines hot. Get new ones first so you can use a prybar and knock the old ones off before removing it, that makes it easier too. Then put the new one on prior to installing, can;'t "hardly" put the breather hose on with the TA installed in the hole. There is the "over ride" linkage to pop off then on again. The throttle stop has to be "learned" by the EA computer, sometimes it learns itself, other times a shopo computer is required, no idea why some do it themselves and other don't, may depend on the year or model car. In case you didn't see it, the mass airflow sensor and adapter need to come off first. NOT a 20 minute job! PITA is what it is.
