hi! after i removed the injectors today (because i thought they are leaking) i notice the gasket between the upper and lower intake manifold is blown. so i decided to remove the whole intake manifold but the problem is cant reach the lower bolts wich connecting the manifold to the head. there should be 7 bolts at the bottom but i can only see one of them from the top..

do i need to get under the car to remove these bolts? if so, is it easy to reach them from under the car or do i need to remove some other stuff first?

thanks! greets!

Yes you do. Your gonna also need a 12mm wrench to complete this task as well. Good luck!

I usually remove the upper manifold first, then remove the lower manifold. It makes things much easier. I can do all of it from the top.
