how do you disassemble the 5th and 6th ports on the intake manifold the rotating rod that the actuator rotates in very hard to turn took the 10mm bolt and screw off and still can't see how it comes out try spraying carb clean in/on it but no luck also try pb blaster 3 days after that with no luck its a s5 if it matters
thank you

 

You have to remove the LIM to free them up.

 

it is off the car i sprayed it from the inside

 

it also has alot of carbon build up that i tried to get off

 

still no luck any body.....

 

so after soaking the lower manifold in cleaner the port actuator now rotates 1/8 inch back and fourth but is really hard to turn any ideas as i said it's not bent just stuck and its like this two other ones i own so i'd like to find out how to fix it
please help

 

Remove the lower intake manifold. Pull the sleeves out. Clean. Re-assemble.

 

pics. so we can see how far along you've taken things apart.

 

the lower manifold is off the car what is stuck is the actuator rod that appears to be pressed into the lower intake manifold the part that rotates the sleeve. the sleeves are not stuck i'll try to get a pic up to highlight what is stuck cuz i'm apparently not saying it right

 

I had the same issue with one of my actuator rods on my s5 .
The rod that acually goes throught the intake manifold was SO STUCK I had to beat it out with a socket and hammer.
the whole brass fitting came out with the rod as well.
if its the round actuator that hangs off the bottom of the intake you need to break it lose with some sort of lub, mine was stuck as well. the whole 6th port was stuck from the actual round actuator to the rod that goes through the manifold.
also once your actuator is broke loose you need to make sure it will hold pressure. blow into it and place your fingure over the opening to seal it, hold for about 10 sec and see if it holds.

 

so it's just pressed in place thank you i've been cleaning it with break clean getting alot of carbon out i'll try your methood again thank you
