I rotated my tires today and thought since it's half the job I would have another look at removing the intake resonator.

I removed all the screws and it was loose but there is a piece of plastic that feeds into the engine bay through a hole in the engine "wall". I can't seem to manipulate it in a way that will allow me to remove it through that hole. With all my other cars is was just a matter of dropping it down. It looks like if the front bumper was off or if that corner of the bumper was out of the way, it would give me the space I needed.

Someone on this forum removed the bumper to put on the Aero kit, might have been darewoody. Who ever it was, other then the instructions that come with the Aero kit, is there anything I should know about attempting this?
