On a 97 Camaro Z-28. The Intake Bolts appear to be a Stud and Nut. How should they be removed and reinstalled. The nut only or nut/stud together. As far as reinstall stud first or together. They are pretty much burried. (Intake Fore Aft Seal leak Fix) First time attempt.

 

Its actually a bolt with a stud on top. When you loosen them it will all come out. Just not where they go back

 

Your bolt/studs will be looking something like this.

 

Mine look nothing like that.

 

Due to a tight clearance between the manifold and compartment, what is the best way to deal with the rear EGR valve tube and wiring along the sides of the manifold. I'm sure many of you have some great experience with this. My first time on this leak problem. any info would by so helpful. Thanx

 

You merely take the EGR pipe nuts off (1/2" wrench size) and free the tube. The wiring can be disconnected from the injectors and such and laid aside.
