I just wanted to know how to do it right, The guy at the stealership said they don't like to change them anymore b/c they usually leak after install...I didn't want to run into that situation, so I was hoping to see the trick to do it right. Do I just unscrew it and screw the new one on?

sounds right me although mines got 180k + on the factory one

When I changed mine, I found that I had to use a wire brush to get some of the rust off in order for the nuts to turn. Also sprayed it down really good with PB blaster.

Heck yeah, Perfect! Thanks! I'll let everyone know if this changes my throttle response.

Didnt do much for mine (and mine was near fully clogged), i would reccomend you clean the Throttle body and MAF if you havent already, and to also do spark plugs and wires, the plugs helped a lot for me.

Yea, I was told the same thing.

And yes, mine did leak right after it was installed. I had to really snug down the bolts a few different times but it appears to have stopped.

I hope.
