No. The upper half of the intake has to slide off the cylinder head, two of the mounting points are studs threaded into the head. Same for the bottom half, the two outermost mounting points to the upper half are also threaded studs, so you have to lift the upper half off unless you extract the studs too. So what you need to do is pull those two studs, otherwise you'll never get it off the way you're trying to do it.
