I need to remove it and inspect to see if the valve is failing or my compressor is failing. The repair manual says to take the intake manifold off but I'm wondering if anyone has done it (at least removal of the valve) without taking the intake manifold off. Looks like a simple case of 3 screws total and 2 green O-rings.

Well, I did it without removing the manifold. It is tight, but possible. You take the 13mm nut off and wiggle the hoses out, then the 2 Alan screws and take the valve valve out. remove the 4 seals (each is different size) and install new seals then the new valve in reverse.

Having a top side creeper really helped.
