I need help removing my intake manifold
It am having to replace my valve cover gaskets on my '96 max SE.
I have disconnected a whole bunch of stuff and feel like I am pretty close but I think there is one more bolt or some thing holding the back side of the intake closest to the throtle body on becasue when I pull on the intake it is piviting in that area. I have removed three bolds so far from the back side where you can't see. Does anyone else know if there are more bolts or where a write up is on this project might be. I need to get my maxima back on the road by tomorrow. Your help is appreciated.

You are rightl. It was the EGR bolts. Seems I got one of them blindly feeling around and found the other with a flashlight and mirror. There was another vacuum hose under the intake after I got the EGR disconnected. That too was a pain in the butt to remove.

I have code 0302 tripped that says I either have too much EGR flow or not enough air flow. What do I need to clean while I have all this apart?

Here's a thread on EGR cleaning. I haven't done it myself and don't have time to search further right now. Good luck.

Can I spray carb cleaner directly down it or do I need to remove it to clean it?

Perfect timing for this thread. I have a oil leak and I'm going to try and replace that egr tube. Is that tube hard to replace? I'm ordering all the gaskets next week. Is is better to clean the egr tube or just replace it. I think it cost around $30.
