manifold wont come off?

[NX-STEP]

Hi all, tried to change spark plugs today but only got as far as trying to remove inlet manifold. It looks like the previous owner broke the top off the centre bolt at the front of the inlet manifold or is it a pin of some kind? the attached pictures show the hole and what I think is a bolt thread sitting inside about 2-3mm below being flush with surface? please help.

That's just a locating pin mate. There should be 7 bolts in total to remove. 5 at the front and 2 at the back, 1 either side of where the coil pack sits.

Hi. a locating pin you say... I was hoping it was a pin of some kind. so does it lift off that pin? does it need help to do that? Can I push the pin through?

Undo bolts, pull.

Easy as that

What he said ^^ undo all the bolts and anything else that's attached to it like pipes and plugs etc and it lifts right off.
