WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!
VSV replaced. Took about an hour. Removed the brace holding the intake (bottom bolt was hard to get to). Ratcheting box end wrench got the first bolt. LONG extensions got the second bolt from underneath. Reached my hand in/under the intake to remove the hose that goes towards the firewall. Too tight. Got a long screwdriver and gently pried it off. Did the same for the hose going towards the engine valve cover. Gently pulled it out and disconnected the wires. One screw removed VSV from bracket. Cleaned tube with carb cleaner. Reassembly was just the reverse.
A bit tight and some small scrapes on my hands, but nothing to complain about. Especially since that one hour and a few scrapes saved me $500!
Haven't started it up yet, but will here in a bit..
Thanks to all for the input!!
