HELP!! Remove/uninstall intake mani

[98gsxdude]

Hey guys needs serious help...Anyone have any tips on how to remove the stock intake mani on a 98 2.0 turbo GSX eclipse?

So far I've successfully removed all the sensor connectors, injector connectors, fuel rail, TB, TB elbow...etc.etc All the intake bolts except TWO.

I'm having a very difficult time removing the last 2 lower Intake Bolts. I also am aware that there is a support bracket beneath the intake manifold as well. This really suck$$

Do I have to remove the entire head off to successfully or properly remove the intake manifold. PLEASE HELP

Before I get slammed I also have two shop manuals...which have been somewhat useful.

Sometimes it's wasier to take the head off...
Those lower bolts are a b!tch to undo, but wait till you have to tighten them back.

On AWD cars it's much harder due to transfer case, so *sometimes* head removal makes it easier.
