Any tricks to swapping them out? I know the intake has to be removed, but outside of that any issues with just swapping them out?
Thanks for any tips you may relay.

Fairly easy once the intake is off. Only word of caution I would give is to be very very careful when applying pressure to the sides of the connectors when releasing them. If you can get your fingers in far enough, and you can squeeze them together enough to release them, fine. Otherwise, if you use pliers for this you can squeeze too much and break the plastic. They pull straight up once released.
I don't recall the size socket you'll need right offhand, but you will need it for both removal and installation. Be sure and torque to the proper value.

Glad to help. BTW, it seems like the socket size was in the 22mm range if I recall. Maybe someone else can jump in here on that.
