intake manifold removal

alright, so i have an 87 rx7 non turbo. im trying to remove the intake manifold to get to the primary injectors.... I removed the nuts on the passanger side and removed the bolt in the center of it, and loosened the bolt on the front side of the motor and the one on the side where the spark plugs are... those are just the bolts that holds it to the brackets.... Did i miss any bolts or should I quit being a poon and just jerk the hell outa it.. any help would be used.. thanks

if it hasn't been removed in a long time/ever it will be stuck on there pretty good. Did you buy new gaskets?

There's one bolt on the firewall side, toward the passenger side, that holds a hard vacuum line in place. The first time I removed my UIM, that one hid from me for awhile.

Buy a new gasket before you go any further. You're going to need it. You'll end up destroying the one on there already.

Ya,a 10mm nut holding the Vacuum rack on..
Reach down on the Last manifold runner on the passenger side..it holds like a piece of Bracket,that in turn holds the whole Vac Rack on.

good deal will check that bracket near the fire wall. im not worried about the gaskets just yet, the car hasn't ran in years... so im just changing out the injectors I think that is the problem if thats not it then I dunno what else it could be. Any other questions before responding please refer back to me previous post I started back in OCT https://www.rx7club.com/new-member-rx-7-technical-256/some-kind-problem-928588/

THanks for all the info
