taking off the lower intake manifold on KA24E

[sstomek]

any tips on getting this off easily? We took off all the bolts except for the one hidden on the right side of the lower intake manifold, behind almost every component on that side of the engine. It looks like I will have to take off the power steering pump to get to that bolt. How do you guys do it?

download the 89 240 FSM and check out page EM-6. it shows 5 bolts 2 nuts, and then the "manifold stay" (bracket) mounting the manifold to the block. after removing all those then you may need to pry it off like i had to. (there are 2 really long bolts going in between the runners for cyl 1&2 and 3&4)
