I have a 97 ka24e in which I am attempting to remove the intake manifold in order to replace the engine head. I've removed the 7 bolts holding it on, but I hear there is an additional support bracket that must come off. For the life of me, I cannot find this mystery bracket/ bolts. :tisk: I ask this after searching this site for hours. Anyone out there experience this problem?

It is under the intake manifold next to the control arm. There are 2 12mm bolts.

Thanks for the quick reply! Finally got them, they're hidden underneath, practically straight under the throttle body. Helps to remove the oil filter first.
