What wrench do I use my standard Plug socket does not fit. I tried an 18MM deep and it didn't work either.

Use a 5/8 spark plug socket. And also if you disconnect the y pipe from the main section of the intake manifold you can do the spark plugs and valve cover gaskets as well as reseal the oil plugs. Just make sure you replace the old gaskets with new so there are no leaks. Don’t try reusing, it doesn’t work as I found out. Felpro makes an intake manifold gasket set that is very common and only costs about $10.

I am trying to get that off as well. I got the 4 bolts and the two on the bracket but don't you have to unbolt it from the manifold? What about the bottom bolts that attach it to the manifold how do you reach those? and those two electrical devices on it. One has phillips screws attaching it to the plenum and has an electrical wire on it the other is back to the drivers side but front of the plenum. Don't all these have to be taken off to get the valve covers off? How do I get to those bottom bolts and what is the best way to disconnect those electrical components. They don't appear to be connectors and I don't want to break the black plastic sheathing thinking that they are trying to get them off. Thanks so much for your time

Use a 1/4 in. drive universal and 6 in. extension to get the two bottom bolts. And as far as the connectors go they should come apart with a little gentle working, the key is to be gentle.
