Hello, i am trying to change my valve cover gaskets and was wondering how to remove the bolts from the intake manifold. It takes a allen wrench it looks like to get them off but they are like super tight. Any special way to get these off? I was actually just thinking of not replacing the front valve cover gasket since it is not the one that is leaking, the rear one was leaking and that one was easy to replace. So should i just leave it since it is not leaking or what can i do to remove this instake manifold? Also was thinking if i remove the intake manifold i will probably have to replace the gasket for that? Another reason why i dont want to take it off, lol.

If you want to remove it, you'll need something like this - an allen socket.

I just decided not to change it but I will need to go pick one of these up just in case. I think my injectors are due pretty soon so I will definitely need one of these, thanks.
