Don't take the manifold off!!
Loosen the bolts at the exhaust/manifold joint and insert the donut . That
having been said, get a good fitting box end wrench or a 6point socket and
a can of good penetrating fluid....soak the bolt very well
If you break a bolt you'll need vice grips and a source of heat to remove
the stud. It can be replaced with 'ready rod' until you get home .
Others will likely add more to my answer...or have a different answer
