Cant get my damn trick flow intake off

[Saleen8786]

Hey guys im installing a cartech turbo kit and i cant get the F'n intake off. My dumb ass buddy used "the right stuff" gasket maker on it. I took the top long intake bolts off and the 4 around it am i missing any? I cant get this damn thing off and its holding my progress up big time. I've tried prying at it wit a big ass screwdriver,even climbed in and pushed up on it and nothing. It feels like its still has bolts in it. Any suggestions would be awesome at this time

I used that stuff on my diff cover had a hell of a time gettin it off! U got all 6 bolts out try pushing down on the drivers side might start lifting the other .

There is one more short bolt (or stud) in the center, below the upper intake. On a stock intake, it was a long bolt.

Edit: On my TFS-R 5.8 intake there is a short one there anyway.

keep tapping away with a rubber mallet

Yeap, the rubber mallet. I had to beat on my upper intake for quite a while to get it off. I guess I went a little crazy with the rtv.

yup got the whore off, after hitting it with the mallet i asked my father(an experience mopar man) he said just to get a tall block of wood,put it on the flattest part under where the intake over hangs,slide the jack under the car and slowly jack it up. It popped off in 2mins................thanks for the help guys
