I-6 Manifolds Rusted Together - Tips?

I've removed the manifolds, preparing for the EFI exhaust manifold install. I can't seem to get the intake and exhaust manifold separated. I was able to remove the stud, but they seem to be rusted together.

Any tips on how to best separate them without damaging either one?

Thanks.

Nevermind...

I soaked it with PB Blaster, and used an old chipped screwdriver as a wedge to pry them apart.

Thanks anyway!

I've got 2 good intakes in case you need one.

Thanks, I appreciate it, but my intake looks like it is in decent shape.
