2001 2.0 16v espace troubles

Sorry think auto correct changed my title, should read Espace problems, not disorders space. Hi, I am trying to remove the inlet manifold on my 2001 espace as the valve cover is allowing oil to leak into the spark plug ports, I have removed the 7 torx bolts that secure the manifold, unplugged everything, removed coils and although it feels like its ready to give it is sticking at the back of the engine. I managed to find on one of the previous threads on hear that the throttle body needs to be slackened off, but does any one know how the air filter housing attach to the back of the engine as its in the way of the throttle body preventing me getting to the 2 10mm bolts to slacken it, if this had been the Laguna it probably wouldn't be a problem but being the Espace, the back of the engine is not very easy to see around due to the bulk head.
any help will be much appreciated
