Intake resonator removal - help needed
Despite searching I haven’t located a guide for removing the center bulkhead section so I can remove the intake resonator. Can anyone share a link as the WIS does not have instructions?

I was looking at this recently on my car out of curiosity.
Rubber hood seal off
two plastic cowl vent covers off
corner bulkheads off
Then you are probably left with finding the small screws that hold the center bulkhead to the dash panel. Go slowly and thoroughly, you will find them. Use a bright LED flashlight.

What's interesting is that I've managed to locate and remove all screws and slide off the wiring harness piece so that the center section can move. The issue seems to be interference with the wiper motor mounting points.

I just looked in WIS for the intake manifold removal, and it says "remove bulkhead". Nothing more. No additional WIS references given. This means the authors of WIS believe the job is self-evident.

I went back at it and was able to successfully remove it by sliding towards the driver’s side then bringing it over the manifold. I’ll post up a few picks when I get a chance.

There two white screws that are attached to the wipers. Then there are 2 more screws to loosen the middle back pierce. Than loosen the harnesses that is attached. However even then it’s very challenging and hard to take out the middle part , I just moved it out of the way to reached the manifold screws.
Quite exhausting.
