Well im almost done changing my two injecotors. All I have left to do is put everything back to together. I've been trying to get eh old gasket of the Intake Plenum(sp) for the last hour and a half and have had no luck. Is there a easier way to do this other than scraping at it?
I just use a puddy knife/scraper with a nice sharp edge. BUT be careful not to gouge the aluminum surface. I don't see how it could take 1.5 hours and not be done. They do sell gasket scrapers at the auto store.

Wow I just had my intake plenum off and the gasket just pealed right off in one piece.
there are chemicals to remove gaskets, or just use some acid (carefully and keep baking soda handy)

umm, did you happen to blow the rear center injector , cause i just blew that one 3 days ago , at 170,000 miles , apparently thats the one that seems to go on 3rd gen maximas , also when i changed mine , i did it with a friends dad , apparently you can just you a thing off the end of the drill gun with a sander pad , we used one that was a light brown color , it seems to not scrape very much off of aluminum , took the gasket off very easily,
