Question Throttle Body clean...Question.??

Hi Folks,
Read the how to on the TB clean, wanted to get it done. Are the arrows pointing the TB and MAF sensor..wanted to know if those are indeed the ones b4 i lay my hand on. They are displaced from stock ones due to KN intake from what i see. Thanks in advance.

What I did was loosened the pipe clamp on top the TB to set the pipe to the side a little and then take out all 4 bolts holding the TB in place and remove the TB. I used an old tooth brush and TB cleaner and cleaned the P••s out of it and then put it back. I have the K&N system too plus a TB spacer.

Make sure to clean any build up around the flap thing. Not too sure what it's called but yeah....

The MAF sensor is in the the K&N intake tube.
