I am about to replace the intake manifold gasket. First time doing engine work so I did quite a lot researches.
From What I have searched and the Manual, there are 8 bolts holding the lower intake to the block. 2 more brackets holding the intake.
The problem is, I tried to reach all 8 bolts from top but seems really hard with all the wires and fuel injectors in the way. Do I have to move the fuel line first according to the manual? Or is there an easier way to remove all the eight bolts? and the bolt size?10mm?
About the bracket, I really don't know which it is. Is this black box removable? The intake seems to be bolted to this plastic box, then bolted to the block.
Thanks a lot!
