Default I can't get the intake manifold off.

I'm pretty sure that I have all the bolts/nuts off the head/brackets. Does anyone have any insight on removing the intake manifold?

Thanks

If you are sure all nuts and bolts have been removed, how about Rubber Hammer? Also there are two locations you can use a pry bar on.

I think those r the 2 still on. I did that the first time I removed it.

Like stated before, you might need a rubber mallet to loosen it.

just going from memory here but there are the 10 main bolts (well 8 bolts 2 nuts i think) and there are 2 bellow and then you have the two brackets one on the front and one on the side above the alternator.

It helps to remove the 3 hoses near the firewall. one is a pain because it has a double clamp on it. i replaced it with a screw type hose clamp.

this will let you see a bolt that you dont think is there =]

Rubber mallet and WD40 should do the trick. If not, try duct tape and zip ties. If that fails, it's time for the plasma torch
