The inlet manifold is a 2 piece, seperated by a paper gasket.

Not removing the bolts I mentioned allows the whole manifold to be removed without seperation. Those 2 bolts only hold the two parts together, not hold the manifold to the block.

No. You made a dumb comment based on doing something wrong. Idiot suits.

Instructions also tell you to completely remove the manifold which isnt neccessary you can just lift it out the way to get the plugs out, saves removing fuel lines etc..

Which by the sounds of it avoids having to depressurise the lines, which is another root around you don't have to do.

I usually depressurize by releasing the line and spraying fuel into my open pores and eyes.
