Default question involving intake removal

I am in the process of removing my intake manifold for a LE2 package this winter. Right now I am removing the intake manifold but it will not come off. I am sure I removed all the required accessories but it just is not coming off. Is there any special trick to romoving the manifold because any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Well triple check and see if you removed all the bolts then gently pry up on it. over time the gaskets stick and it wont just pop off.

What he said...

You will likely need to use the largest flat blade screwdriver you can find. There should be a lip somewhere on the front passenger side of the intake that you can pry up against. You might need to put a block of wood under the screwdriver to get the leverage.
