Make sure all of the bolts are out then grab it by the fuel rails and heave up on it, it'll come right off.

Re: Manifold

I used a large flathead screwdriver on mine. Worked like a charm.

Re: Manifold

NO HAMMERS!!!!!!!!!!

use a prybar or a large screwdriver between the intake and the cylender head. it should pop off with a bit of pressure.

Re: Manifold

thanks a lot for the tips, but my car is unique-it took a 1 meter rench between the runners and plenum to take apart the TPI setup, looks like the manifold is stuck real bad + 4 bolts on it are frozen or broken already,so i am drilling out the bolts.
