Armour-all and Seafoam have eroded the seals.... head gaskets are just around the corner... I hear twinkie baggers are not effected by them...

So, I had one stuck bolt and with a good suggestion from THC, and, figuring out I could yank the intake out if I removed the 3 loose bolts, I'm ready for new seals..... (and one boogered bolt.)

I replaced mine with hex head, much easier to get to with an open end wrench.

I cut off a little piece of a 1/4" hex key about 3/8" long. I then placed it in the socket head screw with tweezers, then use a 1/4" combination wrench to remove the screw.

Every disposer comes with a hex wrench that just happens to be the correct size and angle for EVO manifold bolts.
