2005 DF 70 intake manifold removal

[bobcox]

I seem to be stuck or should I say the intake manifold is stuck. I think I have removed all the pertinent nuts ,bolts, lines,hoses but the intake manifold is loose only at the back end of the motor and will not release from the front of the motor. This is an '05 DF 70 hp 4 stk. Any secrets to busting this loose. Did I miss any hidden goodies?,thanks Bob,1961 Glasspar Sunliner

There should be 8 bolts and 3 nuts.

I got all 8 nuts and bolts removed,but the whole unit won't come loose. the right side where most of the bolts are is loose but the opposite side will not release. I have the factory service manual and have followed all the steps. I will try again this morning. Maybe a fresh start will find me some luck. Thanks for the reply.
