I can't seem to get my intake manifold off. I think the problem is this bracket that the FSM calls "manifold stay". I took the nuts that go into the intake manifold itself but I can't seem to find any other nuts keeping it attached. The manifold wiggles a little so its not the gasket holding on. Here's a picture of where I'm stuck at. The circled part is the bracket I'm talking about.

did you try prying it equally on both sides? there looks to be some rust so maybe there is some holding it on.
