It's simple if all your manifold studs come out without breaking.
I had 8 out of the 12 snap off.
I don't know what else you can do prior to undoing them other than giving them a good tap. You can't get any fluid at them and heating them up did nothing for me.
Good luck though, sometimes they all come straight out.
