    Default removing D series intake manifold

    hey guys, im trying to do my first headgasket job on a 94 civic four door. my question is: i have ALL nuts off of the intake (minus one) and its between the two middle runners on the intake on the back of the head. It is a BITCH to get to. i know its a 12mm but everytime i get a wrench on it (socket is too long, even a short) it slips off anytime i get ready to turn it. Does anyone have a easy solution to do this or have a link for head removal that shows bolts?? thanks in advance and any info will be helpful

    Oh, pretty much remove the exhaust mani, everything d/c from the intake mani, remove t-belt, remove cam and take the head bolts out. Im not sure if they are numbered on that motor but make sure youve got the cam caps in the right order.
