Do I need any tools other than sockets and screwdrivers to remove the factory intake cover? I am installing some parts on an 07 tomorrow, but have never seen the intake cover in person. i am just trying to have all the required tools since I wont be doing the install in the same location as my toolbox. I know everything I need to install the parts, but the cover is a small hurdle in my planning.

Thanks in advance!

I don't remember needing any special tools when I disassembled it for the charge motion delete plates. Just sockets.

Yep, just checked a picture of my engine. Sockets is all you need.

I had to go look at mine - you only need a small socket for the two front nuts on the studs
