I removed, cleaned, and replaced mine a few days ago. I removed the TB to do it. Gave me an opportunity to clean the TB real well and a bit of the plenum.

I guess the TB is coming off. I don't really wanna deal with those coolant hoses,a are they hard to get off, too?
Will I be able to re-use my TB gasket? I dont have a spare.

I didn't have much trouble with the hoses and they didn't leak much either. The gasket was in great shape so I had no trouble re-using it. When I went to remove the TB I also noticed one of the 4 bolts holding it on (lower pass. side) was not even threaded in and sticking out about an inch. All in all the whole process was much easier than I anticipated. The coolant hose on the side (as opposed to the one on the front) was toughest to remove. Remove TB/Maf connector, remove TPS plug, remove vacuum lines on side of TB, remove IAC plug, THEN remove hoses. There is another vacuum line under the TB which is easier to remove after bolts are out. Have fun.
