removing intake manifold stud bolts
 

How do I remove the stud bolts for the intake manifold? I'm installing a intake riser and apparently need to replace them.

If you aren't going to reuse them, then grab ahold of the stud with a pair of vise grip type pliers and unscrew them. They are threaded into the head, mine weren't too tight. and I don't think I chewed the threads up much.

Gonna try lock-tighting some nuts to the studs and see if i can back them off that way

another easier way is if you have enough threads on the stud is to screw a nut on and then put another nut on top of it. jamb them together tight and then put your wrench on the bottom nut and back it out.

ok, I'll try that!
