Im at my wits end with this thing. I need to get the intake manifold off. I haven’t had any luck finding videos or anything.
I have all of the bolts off of the EGR cooler except the one behind the vnt actuator. Its is mostly out, but it is pressed up against the actuator. I can't turn it in any direction anymore because it's stripped at this point. I can't get enough leverage to turn the intake manifolds bolts with the cooler in the way. If the the bolt behind the actuator was angled up just slightly there would be no problem.
Any suggestions? Am I going to need to remove the entire turbo? Or can I even do that without getting the intake manifold off?
