I'm a newbe here; thanks to all of you for such a great resource! My '86 2wd has several issues ...one of which is a cracked exhaust manifold and I'm in the process of extracting one at a salvage yard. I am down to the intake manifold and everything is unbolted but I can't free it up/pull it off. I worked it away from the block about 1/8" after quite a struggle...seems really tight on the guide pins? Any suggestions? I'll go back with more pry bars. Basically I'm practicing on this one so I don't destroy mine when I remove it...did not want to f*#k up the gasket mating surface. Is this a commonplace struggle or an unusual occurrence. Sorry if this info is in another thread...I couldn't find anything. Thanks, Ed
