[QUOTE="EricM, post: 1889241, member: 20286"] Pull the blower. It's not that hard to do. Dealing with the electrical and vacuum harnesses is the toughest part, aside from the sheer weight of it. An engine hoist isn't the worst idea to help get it out of there if you don't have a couple big hosses around. Pulling it will make working on the engine easy and it'll give you the opportunity to clean oil from the intercooler. The factory EGR dumps a bunch of crap into the intake which ends up coating the IC. You also get deposits on it from hot vapors working their way up from the cylinders after shutdown, since one of the valves is going to be open. I put mine in a 5 gallon bucket with a pretty agressive batch of degreaser, the purple stuff or better. Edit: +1 on the PAC spring set if you are going in there to replace one. [/QUOTE]
