I've got everything dissconnected from the intake plenum except for a single bolt on the bracket the holds the two accelorator cables to the intake.
It rounded off while trying to get it with a rachet. Noticed I needed a new 10mm after it was too late. Tried everything I could find on the internet and forum except heat and cutting at it with an angle grinder. My next thought is disconnecting the throttle cable from the firewall and just leaving the cables attached to the intake, but I haven't been able to find a video or post on how to do it. All the videos I've seen show two bolts that unhook it from the firewall but on mine it's just a plastic piece I'm not wanting to break. If I can't find another way buying myself the angle grinder I've wanted for a bit to cut and drill it out. Any side notes or references would be awesome, will update once I get it off.
I'm sorry if I should have started another post on that issue.
On a different note, online is definitely the way to go for gasket sets. napa was 80$ for two sets (lower intake and upper) and would have had an extra set for both sides of the fuel rail. 85$ for a full set from a reputable brand found through forum, although I've forgotten the name.
