Intake maniford removal troubles.

[waqasr]

Guys im following the guides online, thought they dont exactly match my car. 2006 Axx. Anyhow ive got everything disconnected except the bloody 5mm triple square bolt holding the bracket in place. Ive been at it for hours now and no luck. unfortunately I also loosened the manifold bolts and its not sitting properly and now it wont either as everything is so tight. So i really need to remove it.

Also in the guides it says to remove the dip stick pipe. Is it supposed to be fully removed or just moved to the side as much as it can, after removing the 10mm nut and threaded bar?

Ah awesome. Can I give you a call tomorrow? I managed to get the dip stick completely off and can now see the triple square bit. The guide online says 5mm, mine is 10mm. Also there is no way I can get that off even with an extension as theres metal pipes in he way! I might just dremel off the bracket and be done with it.
