Is there some special tool or procedure to get my 455 intake manifold off. All bolts and hoses and brackets are off or loose but can't seem to get intake to budge. Tried banging with mallet, leverage with pinch bar in carb opening. Has someone built a strong back to put across engine compartment opening with brackets to bolt to intake threaded taps?
Really don't want to reinvent the wheel or break the thing into pieces trying to pull it and then worry about what got into the oil.
Pulled my intake from the 403 , twenty ( maybe thirty) years ago an D I don't remember it being this hard. Engine only has 2000 miles on it since it was rebuilt.
Any and all suggestion welcome before I go at it with a sledge hammer.
