Then use an Impact gun to remove them
They shouldn't Break I mean there in an Aluminum intake manifold they would have striped out long before it torqed out high enough to Break the Bolt
The only catch is if they may have used thread Locker on them
so an Impact gun, a Six point socket,little Wd-40 or PB Blaster,Warm engine up and Go for it
If you do all that and it breaks theres not really anything else you could have done
Say a Prayer and Offer a Virgin to the Bolt GODS LOL!!!
I don't think they will break
Every Bolt on a auto has torq spec but with that small bolt in aluminum Just like 04badford mentions Hand Tight is OK DONT GO GORRILLA on it LOL
Gaskets All usually have a Crush-N-Seal Factor so replacement is Best but You will be Fine either way

The Best thing is to do the Relieability MODS FIRST before you Tune it
Coolant filter
High output alt
ARP studs
Metal impellar water pump
and so on

I HIGHLY recommend a fuel pressure gauge as one of the FIRST things you add to your truck. It's probably the most expensive but it's also protecting the most expensive maintenance item on your truck--the injectors.

I just replaced #7 injector. Was a little off. What should I be looking for n the gauge? If seperate what kind should I buy? Before I get a time I will have my dash and scan gauge full of gauges and pids. Also will have learned my truck a lot more and can feel for her weakness. Seems like I need to do that first.

FWIW--there are so many gauge options out that it's just better to sit down and shop. I'm sure you'll get a lot of good options from other members.

Worse case you install ARP studs sooner then planed on
ok, why the hell would they put thread locker on them! I will pray tonight, pray tomorrow and then try again! can i use a rag to ripe the egr down? i dont want to use a brush because i need to keep the o rings in tact some pb and wd and a rag maybe a toothbrush!
then just set it back in!

Crazy stuff comes threw here sometimes who knows what the Last guy did ya Know
A Coat hanger does Work to get EGR Out
But the 2 Bars work Lots Better Iv even seen guys take straight blade screwdrivers and bend a 90* or so on them and do it like that

Smaller cap with the 1/2 drive in it??would be the Upper fuel filter
SOunds like its leaking and may cause Low fuel press in turn killing injectors
can you see it leak with the KOEO fuel pump running
