Default Intake Manifold?

There are three allen wrench screws holding the intake manifold on. I can get the side ones out but how do u get the top screw out. Do u have to pull the motor out or what? I can't go through the top under the seat because the frame support bar runs right across the top of the screw. So is there a trick or what do u have to do to get the intake manifold off? Any help well be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You will need a ball end allen wrench that allows you to use it at a slight angle.

The top one on mine was pretty tight. It may help if you use a boxed end wrench on the end of the allen for extra leverage.

...put your ball end allen wrench in it, apply a little pressure, and then tap the intake with a rubber mallet in a counter clockwise direction--once the intake rotates just a little it'll be a cake walk to get that pesky upper out...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I used vice grips clamped onto my ball ended allen wrench which gave me a very large handle to turn it with.

This is probably the easiest method!

I think I bought a cheap set from autozone for about 8 bucks or so.
