LS3 intake manifold removal problem..need help
I have everything disassembled and I an trying to remove the IM but it feels like it is hung up in the rear on the drivers side. Is this the brake booster line? If so how do I get around it? I have the rear bolts taped up.
Thanks!!

Now I see. It is the brake booster line, but I am not able to get it over the sending unit. Maybe when my son gets home one of us can push it while the other one pulls the IM. Once it is out, how the h*ll do I get it back on!?

If you disconnect it from the booster and feed it over the the pass side, you should have enough room to pull the intake forward and to the driver side to allow room to get it on and off OR just remove the intake with the booster line attahced, as I did. Check out my post #16 and you'll see the orientation I'm talking about. It's pretty easy if you go slowly. I will also say, if you unplug the oil sending unit, it will allow you a few more inches of movement.
