No you don't have to remove it. There's two bolts on the back side of the idler pulley that fasten it to the manifold. I've been able to squeeze back there with a wobbly extension and socket. You just have to flex the steel lines a bit to get in there to them.

snap on 12 mm 3/8 drive 12 point wobble socket is your friend, a regular socket on a wobble adapter is a pain, but can be done, you will probably say a few choice words in the process, I bought the snap on socket only for this job and havent used it since, man I dont miss the 3.slow at all.
