Pulling my Intake
Pulling my Intake How many bolts are on the intake? I've unbolted 5 on the passenger side and 4 on the driverside but the damn thing isnt comming loose. It feels like theres something still holding it down in the back on the driverside.

be careful that might be the brake booster hose holding it in place back there, if you pull on it too hard you'll break your oil pressure sending unit. But it kinda sounds to me like you havent gotten all the bolts off yet.
10 bolts on the intake and if you're taking the fuel rails off, there 4 holding it on. The last 2 bolts on both sides need to be held up when pulling the intake. Like said above be careful and take your time, breaking the oil pressure sending until sucks.

As stated before me, there are 10 intake bolts, and be very careful about the oil sender and it's wires, a buddy and I learned the hard way...luckily on his car though

Use 2 rubber bands to hold up the last 4 intake bolts. Pull the vacume hose off of the brake booster before you try and pull the intake. Pull it out a little once unbolted and disconnect the MAP wires and vacume line for the HVAC and then pull it the rest of the way out. Do not drag it out or you will ruin the intake seals.
