Hi Guys,
I know a thing or 2 about engines but I'm no pro by any stretch of the imagination.
That being said, I did a service on my Bakkie over the weekend but ran into a very big roadblock.
On my Engine the intake manifold is right on top of the V6 engine in such a way that I actually have to remove the Manifold to get the plugs out. I have never in my life needed to remove an intake manifold and I'm scared shytless just to attempt it. It does look like the Fuel rail for the injectors are separate from the manifold unlike other cars. But I can't see well enough to take a risk and remove the manifold. I don't want to take it off and while doing so mess up the injectors.
Is there anyone that has done this before or have any idea of how I should do it?
It looks like a whole day's work just to replace 6 spark plugs

tyvm mate. See the fuel rail there with the injectors? I was scared that is fixed to the manifold. Now that I see it's not I'll attempt it 
Looks exactly like my engine and believe me that is a couple of hours work for 6 spark plugs
