Just twist the part where the cable is attached to relieve the spring tension and slip the end out of the groove. Installation is the reverse. Keep an eye out for the small vacuum tube that exits the TB to the SAI one-way valve. I missed it after removing the TB to clean it, and got a CEL.

SAI question

Tricky ....be careful.....I can tell you what I did after breaking mine!! Can't really twist it cause its in a square hole(oxymoron I know) I tried pinching the 2 tabs (upper and lower)to get it out but the lower tab snapped. When replacing it I fished a zip tie under the intact tab(top in my case) and snaked it around where I broke off the bottom tab and zipped it, seemed pretty stable. Good Luck V

That's the easy part. I'm familiar with that. It's the mount to the throttle body that is the concern.
Thanks.
