Throttle Body CLeaning

Ok, so, I figured that it wouldn't be that hard to do, and now I'm in the middle of it. Well, actually, I'm at the beginning. What parts of the intake do I need to take off in order to get to the throttle body? In what order? Have there been any guides written up on this for a 2k? Heh, must resist urge to smash engine.

Is there a link to a write-up for cleaning the throttle body?

Thank you; It doesn't seem like a difficult task as far as taking the hose off. This will be my first time cleaning the TB; I wanna be sure I do things the correct way and not screw up my car.
