"In this clip we're going to talk about the proper service procedure for removing and reinstalling your vehicle's radiator. In this step we're going to talk about the proper service procedure for reinstalling your intake duct work. What I have here is my section of duct work, and I'm going to start off with this piece over here. I'm going to make sure to sneak my vent hose in the general area of where it's going to reinstall. Take and apply pressure, and a twisting motion to get it to slip on to the end of my mass air flow sensor. From there I'm going to go ahead and take slip on the part that goes to the throttle body, just like so. You're going to want to pay close attention to the bottom sides of these hoses; it's possible to get the lip of the hose stuck on the edge of the throttle body. And if you cram it on there, and clamp it down, it will appear that it's install correctly. So take a little extra time and make sure that you can see the hose all the way around. What I'm going to do next is take and slip on the vent hose, just like so. I'm going to grab my ratchet and my eight millimeter socket, these normally take an eight millimeter, a five sixteenths, eight and a five are almost identical. Or a flat blade screwdriver. Take and screw down the last one, if I can keep it from running away from me, right there. From here we're going to go ahead and take and install our engine ID cover, the cover just slips on over these devices here, just like so. You can see how both the bolt holes line up, go ahead and take and start my bolts. Alright, may as well take an eight millimeter socket, and they don't have to be extremely tight, right there, and for the last one, right there. That is the proper service procedure for installing your intake duct work, and your engine ID cover."
