Does anyone know how to remove the shroud on the back of the intake manifold? There is not adequate clearance to remove the manifold with this shroud still attached. I believe there is a nut on the back of the shroud, but it is proving to be very difficult to access.

Any tips/instructions are appreciated.

2007 tahoe, 5.3l flex, Z-71 4wd

 

Nevermind...managed to get a 10mm socket on the nut and finally got it off and the manifold came off relatively easy after that. What a PITA.

 

Welcome to the forum...
What were you working on that needed the removal?

 

Thanks. Oil pressure sensor. I am replacing the knock sensor too while I have the manifold off. Anything more to replace or clean while the manifold is off? My Tahoe has 160k miles.
