Default Suggestions for removing intake manifold?

Okay, I asked this last week; but I am going to attempt this again this weekend and wanted to see if people had suggestions.

My main problem is reaching the bolts on the bottom side of the intake manifold. I know I can try using a really long extension, but wasn't sure if anyone had other suggestions.

Thanks.

P.S. I've looked int he Helms already for help.

Use an extension and some elbow grease. They are a pita.

I used a short 1/4 ratched with a universal and two different length extensions, depending on which bolt it was. Prepare to spend an hour or two with it, and be patient, it is not impossible.

I can actually do it all from the top. I reach under the manifold from tha passenger side and a ratchet. I have pretty small hands and arms though.

Should be about a 45 minute job once you get the hang of it.
