    Yes you can remove both cam covers without removing the intake. Drivers side is easier than the passenger side.

    You need to remove the throttle body and maybe the idle air control valve.

    Everyone who posted the mini impacts, you guys rock!!!!

    It reminded me to charge mine up for this weekend, I would have been a little upset with weak batteries.

    I use a 18 volt dewalt 1/2 inch impact. It's a gift from the heavens
