Need Help with Removal of LIM
First of car is 89 Vert
i'm trying to remove the lower intake manifold to do the porting on it, however i can't seem to figure out how to get the two center bolts out that hold it on. i got the 4 corner bolts out, but have no clue how to get the middle lower ones out... i can't seem to find anyway to a socket on them or an extension.
second the diaphrams actuating the 5/6th ports seem to be frzen, i can't get them to move at all. any ideas on how to fix that?

You need about a 6 inch extension. You can slide the socket and extension right through the little gap left between the actuators and the acv mounting surface. There is enough room. It might take some time but eventually you will get the socket on the bolt.
What really helps is a small mirror that you can look to see exactly where the bolts are at. This will give you something to go on. I have one of those workshop mirror that is on a telescoping arm so you can see in tough to reach places. I got it at the local auto parts store for like $5. It paid itself off about ten minutes after I got home.
