Angry how the*bleep* do you get the lower intake manifold off

i have an 88 turbo rx7 and im in need of some help, after racing a bmw 325i a few weeks back i started leaking a lot of radiator fluid, after much trial and error ive found that i blew the lower intake manifold gasket. ive have a hayes manuel and have taken apart the upper intake manifold fuel rail throttle body and more but ive run into a problem i cant seem to get to the hidden bolts of the lower intake manifold, anyone have any ideas or a website that they can direct me to. ive been without my ride for two weeks and it sucks

the easiest way to get the LIM off is take off the front exhaust, then the two exhaust manifold bolts off the bottom then take off the upper UIM, then the oil and coolant passages that go to the turbo, then the two upper exhaust manifold bolts, then remove the turbo from the front then remove the remaining bolts for the LIM.

Thats it. hah
