Hey everyone,
Couldn't find an specific intake manifold bolt thread so please correct me if I'm wrong.
2016 Nissan Rogue SV AVD
just over 201,000 miles
I have a lot more back story to the issue on the 2nd gen high mileage thread,but here's my current issue:::::
I'm having a hell of a time trying to break the intake manifold bolts loose. I have the two nuts on the outside studs loose, but for the life of me haven't been able to break the 3 bolt loose in the progression. I can get a good grip on it with a 12mm socket and a small 1/4" ratchet, but I can't put enough torque on it to break it loose. I'm sure tightening will not be an issue since it's only 18 ft lbs and I can reach all the bolts just fine----just can't break them loose. After the two nuts/studs on the upper corners, the next two bolts in order are on the lower side between chambers 1/2 and 3/4. The fifth is on the top in the middle, and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to break that with a wrench. It's such a tight spot.
Any ideas?? Tools? I've read a little that the intake/engine is similar to Altimas, anyone know this to be true?
Thanks in advance.
