    intake manifold

    I am trying to take off my intake manifold on a 2006 x5. I am replacing my ccv. I spent at least 2 hours tying to install if while the manifold is on the var.
    I removed all 9 bolts from the intake manifold. When I tried to remove the manifold it seems like a nut is still attached. I looked everywhere and I could not what is holding the manifold. Is there another nut that is hidden somewhere? I left the fuel injector rail attached to the manifold. Not sure if that would prevent it from coming off.

    I check realoem and it showed on 9 nuts holding down the intake manifold. What am I missing.

    Thanks Jclausen. After a good night sleep I was able to find it in 10 seconds. I spent at least two hours trying to take this manifold off. All is well now.
