I actually tried cleaning it without disconnecting the throttle body and I agree, it was a pain. so i went ahead and disconnected the whole throttle body and the sensor plug but left all the hoses attached. since this throttle body is electronic, its important to remove the sensor plug so you don't have idle issues after cleaning.
Here is my process which i think is pretty safe.
1. unplug negative terminal battery
2. remove engine cover and strut tower(this is a must to get access to the throttle body in ease)
3. remove intake pipes
4. unplug throttle body sensor plug
5. unscrew the throttle body
6. with the hoses still attached to the throttle body, you'll still be able to clean it without any problems
ps. when attaching everything back on, don't forget to plug the throttle body sensor plug back in.
Hope that helps
