1)The rubber fitting at and of riser is stuck on thre really good. Any tips to remove that rubber fitting or do I just replace? At $60 each I would love to get them off if possible.
2)Do I need a hoiset? It says manifold are 75lbs... On port side I have enough room to get down in there so it might be a little easier to manage but for starboard I would need to be leaning over from side. In the service manual, they talk about using a hoist particularly if removing the whole assembly in one shot. If I install the riser and manifold seperatly should I expect to be able to do the manifold without a hoist? I can pay a helper or use my wife as helper for free
3)Should I look to replace the O2 sensors? That would add $400 to the job but at least for the manifold ones don't look like that would be possible or at least easy to replace later without removing manifold
4)Are there any other parts I should expect to need as part of this project or should I replace at the same time. I was going to do plugs at the same time. But I was really wondering if I buy the manifold, riser and maybe the 02 sensors do I need to buy anything else?
5)Manual mentions alignment pins but I cant find the part number. I can always get two bolts and cut the head off but do they sell an actual alignment pin?
