Anyone have any tips for easily cleaning the Idle Air Control Valve?

Hello Aveo junkies! I'm still troubleshooting a rough idle issue and going through real simple fixes first. I'm trying to clean the IAC and it's really hard to reach towards it and unscrew it without disassembling a lot of stuff just to be on the safe side. (Still a novice.) It's a 2005. I think the 2004-2008 models are very similar if anyone has done this on a different model.

I appreciate the help!

Getting the screws in and out can be a bit of a pain, depending on what tools you're using for the job. But I don't recall having any big problem getting at them. Sorry I can't offer any specific help - I think it's one of things you need to try different hand and body positions to see what works for you. If you have really large hands, that might make things more difficult.
