Smile mustang gt exhaust manifold gasket

The driver side gasket is blown on my 2000 gt mustang..
The shops around here was going to charge around 150 or more to replace it,so i like to do it myself if i can.

Anyone know where i can find a step by step on how to replace it?
Do i have to raise the motor or drop the k member an a arm? Whats the best thing to do.

Thanks.

150? not a bad price IMO.

look in the how-to for long tube header install. it will be same procedures except instead of new headers, your just re-using your manifolds.

Yeah 150 didnt sound bad.its a good shop too.they do a lot of drag cars an built cars..
I got too looking an the bolts on the back side of the header is loose,so maybe i can just get them tight it would take care of the leak? i paid a shop 30 to fix them but i don't think he fix the back ones the front are tight but the back bolts are loose.
