Just did this job a few weeks ago.
Once you get all the nuts off AND the long stud (there's only one of twelve), you can maneuver the manifold around enough to take the tube out.
OP - If you have no history on your intake gaskets, this would be the time to replace them as well. You've already done 95% of the work to change them at that point. Our motors hate vacuum leaks.
When the tube goes back in make sure the O-rings and large flat washers stay in place during the process (ask me how I know). And the zip tie thing to keep the spring compressed is spot on.
