=== OR === There are two bolts on the bottom of the bracket where it attaches to the bottom of the intake. If you go at it from the driver's side (since you've already removed the vacuum hoses, and the electrical connectors, right?), you can reach under and remove the two 12mm bolts. Personally, I use a "stubby" ratchet with a 12mm socket on it. Take your time, and you can get them out in 5-10 minutes.

Just remove the ones on the back side of the block and leave the upper ones bolted to the intake manifold itself (the bracket will come out with the manifold)... Ricky On Thu, 15 Aug 2002, Robert K.
