1989 Nissan 240SX Intake Removal

[richcoosa19]

I am needing to remove the Intake Manifold to change two very pesky hoses that carry antifeeze that are leaking. I have already removed the throttle body, but I am having a hard time finding the bottom bolts of the manifold that hold the intake to the head for removal. I believe they are the ones in black that are below the top ones and the bottom ones that I can see are in red (if those are the bottom ones). If so there is one more that I cannot see, I can only see two and there are according to the Chilton's manual three bottom and 4 top. Has anyone else had any experience dealing with this? Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated...

the other one is in the same area just maybe 12 inches back.

Are these two highlighted bolts the two that you are referring to? If so, is the bolt highlighted below in RED the other one on the bottom holding the manifold on? Are there only 2, or is this one the final 3rd one?

There's only 2 that are actually "in" the manifold. The rest are on the flange.

So all I need to remove to take off the manifold are the top 4 and the bottom 2 that I can get to? And then I should be able to get the last one once I have the manifold off, right?

Off the top of my head that sounds right(havent had a KA in front of me in months). You should be able to get to them all with the way you have it.
