I em having heeps of sh*t trying to take off the last bolt on my intake manifold...i have a 94 hatch
- seems like the only way i am going to get it off is take the motor out of the car!

'any one know a easy way to get to this last bolt..'

You're probably talking about the nut underneath the 2nd and 3rd cylinder runners, correct?? Did you take off the oil filter?? Pull that sucker out and you should be able to get it fairly easy. I talked to a Honda technician, and he said if you can't torque em down, just get them snug..not too tight, as you will spread the gasket out too far. remember the 2 bolts that are straight up when you look from underneath, which hold the IM to a bracket!! I always forget those. Good luck, the elbow should do the triznick tho..
