I think it is a simple procedure. Just make sure you remove the motor before spraying and cleaning. Be also careful with the seals and you should be able to do this using cbrahs PDF.

Just leave it unplugged and don't worry about the light .
Or, delete it and get a programmer .

You probably need to be 100% stock all the time though?

I encountered the same situation after plugging my EGR back in (CEL stayed lit permanently). I simply erased the code with my code reader and the CEL hasn't returned since.
