vl inlet manifold removal

[iank1000]

Just wondering if anyone has had the same experience. I need to remove the inlet manifold. Ive removed the bolts from the upper
section of the inlet manifold, but cant separate the top section from the bottom section. I tried giving it a thump but it doesnt budge.
Is there a gasket between the sections? were they glued together?

thanks

you missed a bolt some where is the usal reason that happens.
