ok guys, im having trouble removing the intake manifold. heres what i have done so far (its a ka24e, 1990 240sx)taken off the top part of the manifold.i need to remove the bottom part from the head now, i have taken out a total of 6 bolts=2 small bolts, 2 long ones, and 2 nuts/washers.there is one more bolt that i cannot frigging get to!!!! its in the very front of the manifold, right next to the power steering pump? (i dont remember if its power steering or a/c) how did you guys get to it? i dont really want to take off hte head, as i have been reading about, that it is easier to take off the head to remove the intake manifold. im trying to make this as simple as possible. so...im thinking i need to go underneath the car to get that last bolt from the intake manifold, which is no plm but right now im taking a food break, cuz me hungry! and i was wondering how you guys got to it?TIA
update, i got the 7th bolt off...now im stuck.... i cant get the bracket that holds the bottom of the intake manifold off.... i took out all the bolts, i took off hte hard pipe that runs from the firewall side of the intake mani to the wirewall side of hte header off also....the only thing keeping it from coming off is that dang bracket...how do i remove it? i removed hte two bolts from the block..but its still not coming off.... i really need advice as this is my only car for now and i need to get it running sometime this week! also the reason i am doing this is because where one of the coolant lines runs through the bottom part of the intake manifold is cracked and i need to swap another one on it.
