upper intake manifold is blocked by rear shroud. Help please.

Does anyone know how to remove the shroud on the back of the intake manifold? There is not adequate clearance to remove the manifold with this shroud still attached. I believe there is a nut on the back of the shroud, but it is proving to be very difficult to access.

Any tips/instructions are appreciated.

Nevermind...managed to get a 10mm socket on the nut and finally got it off and the manifold came off relatively easy after that. What a PITA.

Thanks. Oil pressure sensor. I am replacing the knock sensor too while I have the manifold off. Anything more to replace or clean while the manifold is off? My Tahoe has 160k miles.
