I'm just full of questions today...

So at the suggestion of a member here (and after seeing there was no other good way to get the top bellhousing bolts out) I decided to remove my intake. I disconnected everything, pulled the fuel rails, took all 8 bolts out of the intake, and that thing is stuck on there good. I can't budge it at all, even tried a prybar under the throttle body. There's no good place to pry at the sides so I'm kind of at a loss....what do I do here? I've had the intake off this car before but it's been several years, I don't recall having this much difficulty before.

edit: damn I just realized, I think I forgot there's a couple hidden bolts in the middle of the manifold. Shit.

There is 10 bolts, the 2 in the middle of each side are hard to see, they are inset about an inch from the other 8 bolts

I looked at that diagram and totally missed that. Ah well I'll get it tomorrow.

I know that. I thought, surely it can't be stuck on THAT bad.
