Going to repair the exhaust leak from the manifold this weekend. Any tips, best practices, or scar tissue on to remove the manifold?

Thanks in advance.

Don't, take it to an exhaust shop and have them do it, lol

Only half joking

Best case is all the exhaust manifold bolts will come out, none with break or get stripped heads
Spray penetrating oil where you can, and let it sit
Go easy or you will strip heads
If you have a compressor spray the cold air on the bolt, it will cool and crack some of the rust on the treads, to help removal

When reassembling use anti-seize on the threads
