Removing Intake manifold and throttle body?

Hi.
Iam plannin to remove the intake manifold and throttle body so i can paint them.
Is there something to take into consideration before removing them?

My engine is 1.4 coilpack.

You will ideally need a new inlet gasket - £5 from eBay.

The 4 nuts holding the throttle body to the manifold tend to get seized so WD40 helps.

And im not sure but there might be some bolts that needed to be undone from the bottom.
Watch out for the throttle cable (So that it doesnt lose the adjustment)

Carefully remove the vacuum hoses from the back as it sometimes happens that you pull off the plugs.

And like Ihtisham said. Replace the gasket. Also for the throttlebody.
And dont remove the sensors on the throttlebody.
