I'm replacing the injectors - so far no problem. The lower intake is really gummed up so I'd like to remove it and clean it up. I've taken off the 8 nuts/bolts that hold it down but the thing won't budge. The FSM doesn't show any others. Have I missed a bolt somewhere or is it just stuck? Afraid to pry/whack it too hard being aluminum.

Thanks

 

On the driver's side there's a coolant tube hooked to it as well as on the passenger side. If I remember correctly one of the timing cover bolts is screwed into the one on the passenger side so you'll need to removed that bolt and remove the tube on the driver's side as well.

 

just give a quick look around, i'm sure you'll see something you've missed. if everything's taken off just tap it with a cloth and hammer lightly to break the seal.

 

iirc i used a prybar to break the seal
