    Intake manifold removal

    Good day to everyone. I'm planning on cleaning out my EGR ports along with the EGR valve via removing the Intake manifold. How did everyone remove the bottom bolts on the intake mani? Jack the car up and craw underneath to remove the bottom ones first, then remove the top ones?

    Also, once the IM is out, will the slide hammer technique still work?

    I'm sure after 225k on it, there is some crud built up, hence my want to clean it out real good.

    Thanks,
    Cris P.

    like you said, just crawl underneath your car and unbolt the bottom nuts and you can pull off the IM. The slide hammer will still work... good luck

          Ok sounds good. I've got some regular wrenches I can use.

          I think I'll try the slide hammer technique first (using some heavy grease on the drill bit and tap and a vacume), but if that doesn't work I'll remove the whole thing and in stall a new IM to block gasket.

          Thanks,
          Cris P.
