help with removing my head

[carcrzy920]

hey i need some advice from some of the wise people on here. okay so im in the process of replacing my head gasket on my ka24e. and i have everythign removed that needs to be removed except the exhaust manifold and intake manifold. all wires and stuff are marked and removed. so my question is, is there a easy way to remover the intake manifold bolt that are undernieth the manifold that are a bitch to get too? or should i just remove the head with the manifold still on it and remove it once i get the head off of the block? thanks for anyone that helps me out.

Its best if you chop it off, cuz blowing it off is too messy.

lol, bro do this:

remove the intake manifold braces from the mani to the block. then undo the exhaust manifold and pull the head and intake mani off as one. its SO much easier.
