Inlet manifold stuck on

Jul 26, 2005 3 Replies

I've started to change the head gasket on my 3.9, however the inlet manifold won't budge. All 12 bolts have been removed, but it appears that at some point its been off before, as there appears to be a load of sealent oozing out.



Which is the correct way to lift it off? I assume there are no dowels or anything which mean it has to come up vertically.....or are there? And what would you do to try and ease it off?



Thanks, Paul

I've no idea if there are any dowels but I'd try lots of blows with a rubber/nylon/plastic mallet.

That worked....along with a crow bar!

I don't think i ever want to go near my landy with a crow-bar. i'd be likely to give it a good sharp whack in the guts with the pointy end.
