Starter Re-Grease and Throttle Body Cleaning

Just wanted to find out how difficult this is...I've got a write up for taking off the stock air box...I'd say i'm mechanically inclined. Is there anything I should look out for? I'm probably going to do this tomorrow morning...

Here's the write up for those interested:

i had a annoying whine durring startup, had to remove, clean and regreased the starter - that took care of it. I also did A TB cleaning while i had the intake off.
I think the only trouble i had was 1 of the bolts holding starter was on realy tight, and i wasnt able to get any decent leverage b/c it was to to tight a space or at a weird anlgle or somthing, when it finaly gave i ended up mashing up my pinky pretty good..... I did it a while ago and aside from the pinky incident, I remember it being pretty straight foward, esp since my injen intake comes off in about 1 min, w/ a stock intake you got to do a little more work to get at the starter.
