Here are the items you'll need for this repair.
Loosen the hose clamp just after the mass air flow sensor. This is going to be the second one back from your air box. We'll do this using a flat blade screwdriver. Wiggle and twist the boot to release it from the mass air flow sensor. You may need to use your screwdriver to help peel it back here. These tend to get stuck on pretty good. We'll also remove the one at the throttle body. We'll need to disconnect the hoses from their clamps here. You can either try prying it out there, or there's also a little clamp at the bottom here that you should be able to compress, pop loose with a flat blade, and remove the intake runner from the vehicle.
We'll pop this hose clamp out with a flat blade screwdriver and remove the hose. Remove the two 10 millimeter screws at the top of the fan shroud with a 10 millimeter socket and ratchet. We're going to use our trim tool from 1A Auto to pop these up. You can also do it with a flat blade screwdriver or pair of side cutters. You don't have to remove the center pin fully, just pop it up and wiggle the rest of the pin out. There's one at the back on each side like you saw there and then another one here up by the radiator. That one also has a twin on the opposite side. Pull back and lift out the upper radiator shroud.
Lift up on the upper radiator hose and reinstall the upper fan shroud. There are two little pins, one on each side that'll help you to align everything, and then we'll reinstall our four plastic clips by popping the base in and then locking the center pin down. Reinstall the two 10 millimeter screws at the top. Tighten them down with a 10 millimeter socket and ratchet. Reinstall the hoses back into their clips.
Reinstall the intake tubing. It's easiest to set it onto the throttle body. Reengage the hoses into their clips and then get the boot over the air box. Then tighten down both clamps with a flat blade screwdriver.
