Installing Exhaust Manifolds
I've uninstalled and re-installed mine from the top.
When uninstalling, I unbolted the two bolts at the collectors from under the car by using a deep socket and, in the case of one bolt on the stock downtube with the 90-degree bend on the left side, an open-end wrench. (15 mm, if I recall correctly.)
Once the collector bolts are off, the exhaust manifold bolts can be removed from the top using a stubby (short handle) ratchet.
On re-install, reverse the procedure.
Those water pipe nuts on the exhaust manifold studs make the job more interesting.
