RE: [DML] Exhaust Manifolds

[mrvideosawyer@xxxx]

Dear Tony,
This is not a tough job. First jack up car at approved jacking points. Get under car and douse manifoild bolts with penatrating oil and then go inside and have a cool beverage. Come back out to car and give the 10mm bolts constant pressure to remove, don't jerk on ratchet or you will break off bolts. Remove bolts from crossover pipes and then remove manifold. This will take about 2 bours of rolling around on the ground under car "WHAT FUN". Put that puppy back together and drive away a happy camper. Oh, I forgot tighten up on crossover pipes evenly or seal won't be very good, then ya would have to climb under car again to fix. Take your time on this or you will break bolts Be one with the tools, grasshopper.
