In this tutorial, you will see how to remove the intake manifold on a Nissan Pathfinder, a relatively simple operation. First, wait for the engine to cool down sufficiently, then open the bonnet and remove the plastic cover.

Next, loosen the metal clamp on the large left hose, unclip the clips securing the air filter box, and remove it. Proceed by unscrewing the bolts of the throttle body, then move on to the bolts of the intake manifold and separate it from the cylinder head.

To fit a replacement, simply follow the reverse procedure.
