    Replacing the intake boot. Any instructions?

    My car needs a new intake boot, plus the connecting hoses. I figure this might be a pretty simple job for a beginner like me to handle myself. But as I was flipping through my Bentley bible, I didn't find anything about removing or replacing the intake boot.

    Are there any places where I could find such instructions? Perhaps someone did this recently and wouldn't mind sharing?

    Thanks!

    Replacing the intake boot is really just common sense. Take the old one out and put the new one in.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        Take off old boot by any means necessary, then reverse steps to install.

        If you cannot look at the new part, and the part to be replaced and understand what needs to be done, you should take it to the dealer. They are looking for customers with old cars like you.

            Maybe you should take a few pictures, it always helps if there is any chance you might forget what goes where.
