What happens here

First, use a DeWalt 20V Max Impact Driver with a T30 Torx bit to remove the top engine cover. After the engine cover is off, use a flathead screwdriver or an 8mm (or 5/16th inch) socket to loosen the hose clamp on the intake tube. Once loosened, completely remove the entire intake tube assembly, including the integrated 'resonator cap,' to expose the engine's upper components.

Goal: Clear access to the engine's upper components
