Here's a little photo journey.
An important note of my install is that I'm also doing a front suspension overall so the Lower control arm is off. Likely making it a little easier.
Looking up from under the drivers side cv axle. you can see were the engine mount attaches. Wait, no , you can see where the wire loom and small heat shield attach on top of where the engine mount mounts.
Here's that same heat shield from the side view just above the frame.
Remove them (12mm)
Wire loom close up. Remove bolt to get some wiggle room for the harness.
That will then uncover 2 engine mount bolts. With almost direct access up from the bottom. The front 2 bolts are slightly tougher to reach. I have a picture of those. You will notice the strut tower on the right of the picture. The bolts have been removed, so you are looking at those 2 empty holes. the engine is also lifted in the picture, so there are 2 sets of holes you will see.
The passenger side is easier. nothing really in the way. I didn't get a picture.
You then can tilt the engine. The only think I disconnected up top is the intake from the filter box. lift until the fan just touches the shroud.
To remove the manifolds you will do a lot of this...
I have a 14mm deep or a regular socket on a ujoint swivel. extensions as needed. go up and in from anywhere possible.
First though, the heat shields use 10mm bolts. Those come off first, but the engine does need to be tilted to make this easy.
Heres a picture of me taking out one the studs before the engine was tilted. I was able to get 4 out before. see socket on bolt.
So, with tilting the engine you should be able to get them all out. A tilted head ratchet was deemed necessary so I bought one.
The studs that went to the emissions tube things just broke off for me.
The downpipe also uses 14mm studs, I zipped them off with the impact.
While I have your attention. heres my frame after scraping, wire wheeling, degreasing and rust treated. Then covered with some brush on rustoleum, none of my local city stores stock chassis saver or por15.
oh, back to what matters.
Here are the manifold cracks. Both on the front most cylinders.
