Gen 1 Left exhaust manifold

[mgshores]

Hi Folks, Am hoping you can help me out. 2012 Raptor. Cracked left exhaust manifold. trying to find a step by step guide on how to go about removing the old manifold. Cannot find much info out there. The Ford.com guide says remove the 8 studs like its easy !!!!!!. Ok, so have got the wheel off, the inner liner out, disconnected the steering shaft and got it out the way, removed the heat shield. Got the 4 studs out of the top and the two ends ones at the bottom. How do i get the two bottom inside ones out. Also wondering how this will go together, particularly the bottom ones, do i put the new studs in first then the manifold. Ok, well any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
