I know there are already threads about this but I still can't seem to get it off. I currently have the 5 on the top removed and the 15mm one on the passenger side removed (removed alternator). I know I gotta be missing something!!
Any help would be appreciated!!

 

Theres 5 nuts on top and 1 bolt behind the manifold. Thats it. Should pull right off the studs

 

Try removing the studs if you haven't already. If you took the bottom bolt out the manifold should be quite loose, and should just pull straight up. What/where does it seem to be stuck on?

 

It just seems stuck and does not want to budge at all. I can't seem to get any portion of the manifold to even come slightly loose. I've tried tapping it with a rubber mallet but maybe I just need some more umph to break the seal?

 

Try to pry it off the block, it must be just stuck on there.

 

Yeah I will try that tomorrow. Didn't wanna start prying at it if it was still connected somewhere lol. I will give an update tomorrow. Thanks for the help

 

Ehhhh 5??

There are 7 bolts/nuts that hold the intake manifold to the head (5 short, 2 long studs) and that 15mm bolt on the lower bracket.

 

Like Speedyteec said you missed some. You got the elusive one that people usually miss(#907 in the diagram) but are missing a couple where the intake connects to the head.

Look here

I havent taken mine off in awhile. I thought there was only 5 on top. Sorry for misinformation

 

Thanks guys, I got it off. It is a lot easier to find when its not covered up with tape. LOL
