Yes, I can do it, but I am not available until next weekend. :(
Tip in the mean time.... get plus gas... lots of, and soak the manifold bolts and the exhaust bolts in it.
Oh and what year is it?

You can.t get to the manifold bolts unless you remove the heatshield first, i thought :-/
-
Good point! ;D
I am busy thinking about the exhaust bolts, but you can reach some of the manifold nuts.
Post 98 cars have different nuts, which (allegedly) don't shear...
