Here you go - I extracted and uploaded a pdf version of the removal and installation (click) ('http://myweb.cableone.net/jcopley/4g64intakemanifold.pdf'). You'll need adobe reader or the web plugin. It reads like a service manual, of course, so while it doesn't say "step 1, do this. step 2, do that", all the steps are there. Look at it and study it a bit. Hope this helps.
