Cleaning IAC Quick Q...

I ended up using that stuff in the IAC and it worked well.
The truck was making this super loud hum at idle and cleaning the IAC out fixed it.
I just took it off, sprayed the cleaner in there, let it sit awhile, sprayed some more in there, and kept doing that. Then did one real good flush with brake cleaner and used an air compressor to blow air through it. Then let it sit and dry for awhile and then put it back on. It works well and the humming noise is gone.

how do you get to it?
Hi all,
I looked into doing this "simple" operation the other day, but on my 2002 5.4 it is WAY back in the engine compartment. Even my 6'7" brother in law couldn't reach it. We removed the plastic "5.4 Triton" piece and I finally saw it, but couldn't reach it. Does anyone have some advice to make it easier to reach? Or am I looking at the wrong part?
Thanks!

As I posted on another string, put a towel or rags(s) under the IAC in case you drop one of the bolts.
The wrench at the dealership has a special tool he uses...
It is a half-sheet of 1/2" plywood that he sets across the front of the engine compartment so he can lay on it. He puts fender aprons on both sides first, of course.
