i cant get the stud out or farther down my trick flow intake is in the way. its the back bolt not by the fuel pressure reg but on the other side. the stud is high and the bolt hits the top of the intake .can stud by hand but not enough to get the stud farther down enough to get the bolt out. tired needle nose pillars,adjustable drive socket and wrenches. i begining to hate trickflow.

all i have is a camera phone not sure if that works. back of intake towards firewall theres two bolts one by the fuel pressure reg thats easy to get to.the other is next to it. the stud that goes to the lower intake and goes to the upper and a bolt goes on top. the stud came loose and now i cant get the stud do down further cause the stud is butted up on the upper intake now. so i cant get the nut off cause the stud its the intake.

I know what you are talking about and yes it is a pain to get to that bolt. I think the only way you are going to be able to get it out is to remove all other bolts and raise the upper intake as high as possible.

Just like Bullit said. Remove the other nuts and raise the upper intake while pulling the rear stud/nut. I would try a little bit of BLUE locktite to hold the studs in.

I got a cheap set of wrenches and cut them in half. That way I can get to those hard to reach places that don't need a lot of force... hence the cheap wrenches.
