1990 Nissan Hardbody D21 2400 My first Nissan and now I have to remove the intake to get the head for a new head gasket. Can someone send me a couple of pictures and or video on how to get to the bolts under the manifold to get it off? FSM indicates there are 7 bolts and I've found 5 and can't seem to find the last two or even how to see them. aarrgh or a link to someones site that has already done this.



Thanks

I just did a rebuild and ill try to explain what I had to do. there should be 2 bolts on the bottom of the intake that you can see laying under the passengers side looking up at the bottom of the intake. I think I used two of the longest 3/8ths extension I had and a 12(maybe 14mm) socket to get them off. now for the bolts going in the head there should be two long bolts and 4 studs and nuts or bolts I think mine were studs and nuts. they are pretty easy to get off with a wrench and ratchet. then you can move it over enough to do a head gasket
