I have put wd40, liqiud wrench and stuff on there and let it sit for hours and whacked it with a wrench and everything and cant get the bolts that hold on the intake plenum off. Anyone have any ideas?

Stick a metal punch on the top of the bolts and give it a few good whacks.. Then stick a bigger breaker bar on it and hope they pop loose.

You are using these, right:



and not some silly little L-wrench?

Use the type mizeree showed you and hook it up to a breaker bar. That'll get them loose. If you don't have a breaker bar, stick a piece of metal pipe over the end of a normal wrench to get more leverage.

Sorry, Matt. I repeated what you said again.....

I have those yes. I bought a set when I was removing my VE heads. But I only use them when I feel wimpy.

why does nissan and other cars use hex bolts instead of regular bolts??? are they stronger??

A lot of times it's because the head of the bolts are in confined areas. The throttle body bolts must be allen heads because if you put a regular head on them, you can't get the bolt in there with a socket on it. not enough room.

Oh is that why they did that.
