I'm pulling the head off my 90 Accord DX. I have almost everything disconnected. There is a row of bolts that I can not get to in the bottom side of the intake manifold. Do I just disconnect all of the lines to the IM and pull it off with the head? Or do I have to get to the bolts from under the car?

 

if you mean the brace that attaches to the bottom of the intake manifold you should be able to get to it from the passenger side just remember to pull not push took me a while to figure out i was tightening the damn thing the only other thing i can think of that's under there is some vacuum box on my 92 but that i had to lift my intake up off the head to disconnect but if you have a swivel 10 mm socket it helps and you can probably get to both from under the car

 

I haven't even got to the brace yet. Will the brace be in the way of the bottom row of IM bolts?

 

you really don't need to pull the IM to pull the head it will all come off in one piece but no that brace doesn't interfere with those nuts the only nut you will probably have trouble with is from facing the car the second bolt from the left on the bottom. you have to go from under the car and you have little room to move unless you have a swivel socket then you can get it from the top but you just need to take the one bolt on the brace that bolts to the intake you don't need to remove the brace all the way

 

oh man those bolts in the back are a bitch it took me like 2 hours to take them off and i did part of the job from uper and part from under the engine just watch out with the mafler in front of the engine don't disconedt the mafler where 4 pipes become two big one because there is going to be a bitch noise when u start the car.
