Removing the oil filter housing

[lolcantturn]

What would be the procedure for this? From what I can see by poking around, do I have to remove the intake manifold?

Reason being, managed to break the idler pulley above the alternator LOL. I remember putting on a serpetine belt on the motor that was a tiny bit too tight but it didn't seem to be of concern...15k miles later the M10x150 bolt that holds the pulley to the oil filter housing snapped in half and ruined the housing as well, no biggie. I had to do the housing gaskets since I bought them a while ago so I'm not even mad.
Now what's the quickest/best way to approach removing the housing? Thanks guys!
