Replacing Intake Manifold Bolts I'm replacing my rusting fast intake bolts with new stainless ones from thunder racing. I got them all on except the last 4 in the back near the firewall. I loosened one of them but theres not enough room to take it out. I think i might have to take out the intake manifold but thats the last resort. Any help on taking the last 4 bolts out without removing it.

Intake will have to come out. On mine i had to have a friend hold the bolts up on the drivers side while I held the passenger side back bolts up so we could pull the intake out and they wouldnt catch. Also while you have it off I would replace the oil pressure sending unit. It seems like if its been in there awhile all it takes is a bump putting the intake back on/removing it, it will go to ****.
