Never worked on the Milly manifold, but, on my mx-6, there was plenty of crap on the back of the engine, that'd keep me from getting the IM out, including a brace that joined it to the rear cylinder head.
My advise: get under the car, with a good light, and take a look.
With a little more aggressive wiggling, the manifold is mostly free. I'm definitely doubting it's a bolt or bracket now you guys.
There are coolant lines at the back of the IM that I can't access very well, they appeared to be long enough that I could lift the IM before removing them. Any workarounds come to mind?
don't forger the EGR coolant lines, and the coolant line between the TB and the rear head.

The blue arrows point to the coolant lines I am having a hard time accessing. Needle nose pliers, channel lock pliers, nothing. I can't fit any tool in there that has enough leverage to wiggle those off.
The red arrow points to a pipe which goes to the same location. Is this all part of the EGR system?
I tried removing this entire piece(which all 3 items connect to), but the bolts are too long to be removed with the IM in the car.
lol, I just took my manifold off too, and I kept having problems with the rear vent and that tiny screw on the drivers side. I jacked it up and looked at it from underneath to find out what was holding it in.
my new IM didn't come with a rear vent pipe, so I'm going to just use a hose. What should I use to mount it, so it doesn't just hang?
Umm, IM should take like 10 mins. If it takes longer you are retard. You almost made me get off my butt, go out and look at my ZE on a pallet in the driveway to see what the h*ll your difficulty is. Anyway happy to read you got it off, any other problems like this one feel free to post questions,,,,on Probe talk.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Dan, it was the exhaust to EGR piping that did it, don't hate
Honestly, I had to use an open end wrench to get it off, and that alone took 10 minutes. I could only turn the damn thing about 15 degrees at a time, before having to turn the wrench... It pissed me off to the point that I won't be putting the egr back in there. Simply because I don't want to go through this again, and the IM is just nasty... I hate EGR. Not the member though, he's cool
