ok, soooo I removed all the sensors and vacume lines so far. Then I removed the FRP, fuel rail then the injectors. Then I took off like the 5 nuts on the top part of the flage that thread onto the head studs. Now I think the next step is to remove the nuts on the bottom of the flange correct? and if so how do I get to them?

when i took mine off to get ported i just went under the car with an extension and u-joint to get at them cause i had the car on a lift..if you dont have the car up on a lift just drive it up onto a ramp and get at them that way..

ok cool, so under the car is the way to go

yup least frustrating by far.

I believe I would rather just take the motor out of the car then to try to get to those bolts up in there.

Well, i'm kinda big, too. You could try it out, but for me, I have to have a DAMN good reason to attempt to do that.

oh yea, make sure u dont have a shitty U-Joint cause those things are torqued down pretty tight..i snapped 3 u-joints from home depot, so i went and spent 70 bucks on a snap on u- joint..hasnt broken and i put all my strength into it...those other 3 were knuckle busters

lol yea I am working in my little garage in my little house with little tools. Plus the car is my DD so I need it back on the car as soon as possible. And I have verry little idea what I am doing and what I am talking so I dont want to do anything too extreme. The reason for taking it out is to put the hondata gasket on, put the egr blockoff plate on and sent the manifold and throttle body out to maxbore.

Ill guess I'll make a trip there tomorrow then
