Removing Intake Manifold

Alright so I am having issues removing my intake manifold. I have removed all the bolts holding it on however it keeps getting stuck and will not come off the two bolts in the middle. Any suggestions?

Remove those two bolts, it won't come out with them on there.

They are an E6 or E7 internal torx, but you can use a small 1/4" or so socket to remove them if you don't have the torx bits usually. If it feels like it's twisting off too hard, stop before you break the end and go get the proper sockets.

make sure you removed the bolts holding the support bar, dipstick and everything else.

its easiest to remove the 2 studs using a e7 inverted torx socket. it helps aid the removal
