Why are you pulling the intake out? To get my intake out, I heated up the epoxy a little(not sure if tht helped... and applied constant pressure from the bottom using a hydraulic jack. You will need to find a way to keep from lifting the boat off the trailer...To do that I laid some 4x6 across the stringers, and between that and the truss in my garage I wedged a piece of 2x6, and then started applying pressure... Got it tight, Left it alone for 15 minutes, came back and gave it another pump and the think started to pop loose. The noise was scary, but came undone just fine. If you think about the bond that stuff gets, a little noise is understandable....
