Intake Manifold Removal

[AAAFUN]

Hi all, first and foremost did a search and couldn't find how to remove the intake manifold egr connector, 4.0 sohc. Trying to replace both the temperature and gauge sending units. All the bolt are off the upper intake, but the egr connector has me puzzled. Any ideas on how to wrestle it off? So far the motor is winning. Thank you.

Solved it, have to wiggle the intake upwards to release the erg tube, it's a PITA but it comes off. Even taking the upper intake was a hassle just remove 2 sending units. Sorry, but leave it to Ford and their design crew.
