Intake Manifold Removal

I removed the front bolts and then the rear 2 bolts.. the left of the manifold comes up but seems like a bolt or 2 on the right side..looked in fsm..no help.
Though the picture of the egr tube looks like it maybe bracketed to the manifold. Input?
Removing,clean,replacing gaskets.for a friend..carbon build up..
Thanks..

So you did or did NOT remove the two bolts holding in the EGR guide tube?

Yup - you missed the two bolts that hold the EGR guide tube to the manifold... they are right below/behind the IACV.

Make sure you clean out the EGR guide tube while you have the manifold off (in addition to the other cleaning you do).

Okay thanks guys.. As you can't really see anything behind it..the two rear bolts with brackets..I felt around with my finger and used a closed end reversable wrench on it, and tapped down on the end with hammers end.
Yep I'm basically cleaning out everything and replacing things. Taking some pics of things to show before and after.

Hmm I actually have the chilton somewhere. must search...
Did you have carbon build up in the manifold? or was it mostly clean..
I tried convincing my friend to get some

nope! would have been easier..
