cleaning IACV

So my idel is bouncy and the eml came on, code 14. Now my mechanic said I can do it myself, just undo the two bolts, clean it and replace it but every video I have seen on pootube shows people disconnecting the two coolant hose and making a mess or having to plug them with something.

Can I do it the way I was told or do I need to remove the pipes as well?

It's better to remove it and soak it in something like WD40 / degreaser or etc. That way you'll be sure it will be cleaned properly. I left mine overnight soaking. Sure some coolant will spray from the hoses when you remove the iacv but nothing to worry about.
