I have free time so I plan on taking off the IAC and cleaning it but after looking at it, I dont see how i can fit a big enough wrench in there. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to do it. It seems like a bracket holding the alternator could be removed because it is in the way. I also already removed the intake assembly connecting to the throttle body. What do you guys usually do.

By the way this is a 5.7 TPI 350

you could always remove the throttlebody and take it off that was but you should be able to get a wrench in there just work with it.

i fit a box end wrench around it and did it little by little, it takes a while to unscrew it but it was easier because i did not want to take the TB gasket off and mess with all of that.

using channel locks and coming at it from the side worked for me. thanks for all the suggestions.
