I personally like to take them out compleatly its pretty easy. Make sure the engine is not hot so coolant does not splash out of the lines. I used CRC TB cleaner and a rag (you will need to do a little scrubing not just spray the cleaner). Make sure not to move around the flap too much, just hold it open all tne time. There is 2 hoses, 1 connector, and 4 fasteners (15mm hex if i remember right). I hope thats helpful

Good point. I picked up a couple of packages of mixed brushes I found in the paint aisle (like $2.99 at Walmart for each package). They are designed for removing finishes. Each package had three brushes with one being stiff stainless, one being medium stiff brass, and one being light stiff plastic polymer. I used the light and medium ones with great success.
