How do i remove the black air intake thing that is on top of the driver side of the radiator. I removed two screws and removed the sensor that is attached to it. Loosened the plastic hose like thing on the bottom, but closer to the driver side it is still attached and some electrical wire is connected there. Does this need to be removed if I want to clean the throttle body.

 

You couldve just pulled the air box top, lossened the surrounding couplers and then pulled the box and coupler attached to the TB

 

This How To thread shows you how to clean the TB and several other air intake parts
