So im takin off my exhaust manifolds to fix some broken bolts and i wanna get some confirmation before i start tearing some stuff off.

I've attached a picture of the manifold and what not and i was wonder if im gonna have to take off the alternator and the mounting bolts? there is also another mount for one of the other pullys that i may have to take off? also something i dunno what it is that is sitting on top of the manifold. Do i have to take all this stuff off just to take my manifold off?

kinda hard to see what i circle uniless you click on it

You will have to take off the black bracket that goes on the alternator it also bolts on the exhaust manifold.
You will also have to take off the brass looking tube. Realay coat everything will brake free of PB blaster.

Especially the manfold bolts and the broken bolts once you get the manifold off.

Coat the broken bolts really good with Pb blaster, brake free or some pentrant. Then let it set. I just did this on my replacement motor. I used a vice grips and carefully took them off.

Ty but i already pulled off the right manifold, damn these things are a pain in the ass. Now im almost done with the left side. On the right side i MAYBE had half of the colector gasket left and the left side was pretty shot. Tomorrow it's off with the 1 bolt left and to town to buy parts. Ty for the help anyway
