yeank on it. make sure you have all the bolts taken off. mine was stuck on with the gasket holding it pretty tightly. dont bash it qwith a bfh, but just yank on it or hit it with a rubber mallet.

That was the easy part.

The hard part is cleaning off the old bonded on gasket material.

I assemble intake with RTV. It's much easier to work on next time.
