throttle body removal

This should hopefully be a quick question but can the throttle body be removed without removing the inlet mani first?



I ask because i don't have a replacement gasket for the manifold so don't want to disturb it. Looks like its two bolts that go through the mani, and two below and it will be free. I guess i will have to remove the plastic tubing on the rear of the throttle body that the air filter goes in to have enough space to pull it backwards.



Its for the 1.4 Megane in the 'my garage'



Thanks guys.
