When all else fails;;;;;; You may have to do what I had to do! Drill through
the bolt head with a 5/16 bit and insert a fairly long "drift pin". Then
lightly tap on the drift pin until you break the bolt loose. A new bolt from
Toyota runs $1.87. Worked for me.If you have stripped the allen head out (
not unheard of), you can turn the bolt with needle nose vise grips.

intake removal

I just signed up today after reading the thread about problems removing the intake manifold I purchased the haynes guide and it didn't say anything about removing that 6mm allen head bolt I tried everything to remove the intake as I was replacing the head gasket so I pulled the head with the intake on it then after reading this thread I got out my trusty 6mm allen wrench and sure enough the intake came off!!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! Thanks for the help me and my 1994 toyota 4x4 pick-up are very grateful
