Does anyone know how to unscrew these bolts? What tools do you use? The space is so tight, the regular wrench won't even fit in, i tried the deep socket but the plastic nut on top of the bolt just got in the way. Tried to pull it off with pliers but it was so tight, i was worried to break it.

Do the tops not screw into the manifold bolt - so try holding the manifold bolt with spanner and unscrew top bit. Just a thought!

The top plastic bit was not screwed on, tried unscrewing many turns, it just stayed on

I wish mine look like yours!

Grip the round base section and pull up, if that fails try twisting it with grips/pliers.

Some of the V6's got a cover that sits on top of the intake manifold, my 2001 did not have one, my 2002 does:
