Answer
Hi James,
Here are the instructions from the '03 manual.
Disconnect the negative battery cable
Disconnect inlet air temperature sensor electrical connector
Disconnect fresh air makeup hose from throttle body air inlet hose. Loosen hose clamp at throttle
Remove hose from throttle
Remove nut on bracket that holds air cleaner housing
Pull air cleaner housing straight up off of location pins.

Install is the reverse.
