It should come right out. Pull it up and forwards. Only move it about 4- 6 inches forward. Then disconnect the rear vacuum lines and wiring connectors from the manifold. The manifold can be sticky at times. Are you sure ALL the bolts are out and the two rear bolts are taped up high enough to clear? I would lengthen the heater control vacuum line once you have the manifold out as it is too short when you go to re-install. I added about 4" to it. The entire manifold removal only takes about 20 minutes.

It seems it wont move forward. Taped bolts up as high as they go but, seems not to go high enough. Hit a plastic lip, almost if the bolts are to long, and wont give. I Can move side to side and up and down just not up and forward. Weird. Okay I give!! It is back together and just need to find someone to do this thing. LOL Gave it one good shot!!! Now I need a shot!!! LOL Have the tube and connector for the re attachment. I wish I knew someone that could do it in 20 minutes!!! I really wanted this relocation of the oil pressure sensor completed.

I bet I know what you did. I did the same thing the first time. I thought it was those bolts in the rear, but it was actually one of the coolant pipes I left connected in the front of the manifold.
