AI Manifold removal challenge (1 Viewer)

[MostlyNuts]

Hey gang,
Trying to remove and AI manifold that seems to have not been touched since it came of the assembly line. I have the main fittings loose and free but the nozzle ends seem to be fused to the couplers in the head ports. I really would like to avoid damaging the AI rail as I'd like to rebuild it. Until I hear I'll just slowly tap and Kroil, tap and Kroil.
Thanks for any tips!

Maybe some heat, PB Blaster and Lots and lots of patience. I wasn't patient and I ended up messing mine up. So I'm desmogged now.

@Voodoocruisers has that for sale currently, check with them for a replacement.

Thanks guys! I'll look into the new one. Been a busy week so will be attempting the removal tonight or tomorrow morning. I'l take pics and a video maybe to share my adventure!

Ok, no luck removing. It's just too fragile and rusted tight. I put it all back and will probably buy new rail and head ports nozzles.
Thanks for the help!
