I am trying to remove the intake manifold off of my 2006 2.5t xc90. I can get all the bolts off of it except the one on the very left...WTF!!!!!! Someone please tell me how the hell you get under up and around this crazy spot. Am I missing something? Do I have to take off the timing belt and the entire left side of the engine...GOODNESS!!!! Wife leaves for Boston on Thursday. Thanks guys.

 

Did you ever figure it out? Thanks in advance

 

No it's a really tough spot to get to. I get to it by pouring my arm under the intake manifold and using a wrench on it. You only need to loosen it a couple of turns that's it. Tighten another bolt to take the load off of that bolt

 

Thanks trying to tackle a crankcase blockage problem. Would you know the best way to tackle this?

 

Replace the pcv box, clean out the holes in the block with a small snake, the pcv valve, and inside of the plastic like that holds the valve.
