another question about lower intake manifold !!

[Frederico]

ok guys, first of all, im sorry if i'm making a question answered before.. but i didn´t saw it here in my searchs

i have a 2000 clio 172 and im trying to do a diy matched inlets.. but im having some troubles taking out the lower intake manifold.. all the screws are out, even that one with very bad acess.. !!

my question is.. do i have to take the engine mount to take the manifold .. or its just a question of making strenght lol !!

and i'm working on the street, as u can imagine .. its even worse :|

cheers from Portugal

are you sure you got all the bolts out? there's loads of them! you need to undo one of the engine mount bolts as it also holds the manifold, you don't need to take the whole thing off tho
