Before the removal of the exhaust manifold, the cable should be disconnected from the negative terminal of the battery.

The exhaust pipes can be disconnected from the manifolds by unthreading the nuts connecting the pipe to the manifolds, then the pipes can be lowered. On each manifold, take off all the bolts and heat shields and undo the self-locking nuts which secure the manifold to the cylinder head, the latter should be discarded and new ones obtained for reassembly. Manifold should be checked for cracks, warpage, and other signs of damage and should be changed, if it is severely damaged.
