does anyone know what the easiest way to get the intake manifold gaskets off is?? i had to replace my omp line, and in order to do that i had to take the manifolds off and in the process my pops tore/ripped the very bottom manifold gasket and it doesnt seam to want to come off so i can replace it.

 

Oh man..What a pain in the ***... That old mazda gasket materiel is like welded on there. I use gasket remover, and a scraper. Be careful, as the materiel is very pliable... Then I use a dremel with a wire wheel to clean the rough parts.

i just got a razor and shaved it off, and for the parts i couldnt get off i just got a flat head screw driver got the peice at an angle and hit it with my hand. not with a hammer so i wouldnt put any deep gashes in the metal.

 

 

ive already tried using razor blades and what not but all its doing is tearing up the razor blades. thats why i was trying to figure out an easier way.

 

I started a thread on this a year ago, and got the same responses. That gasket materiel is gonna fight you, every step of the way.. Here is the link to the other thread.
