That is an excellent point ZOERA, no need to disassemble anything, I've changed the exhaust manifold gaskets several times on mine. I drilled a hole just above the throttle pedal area in the side of the lower fire wall to gain access to the last header bolt on the drivers side. I simply seal the hole back up when I'm done. It is a little tricky getting your extension/socket to find the exhaust bolt, but it works for me. Yup, some bolts you have to get from under the car.

By the way, after all that trouble to replace the gasket? One word: Remflex! I've tried everything else, various standard gaskets, the copper gaskets, etc. Remflex, nails it, gaurenteed not to leak. Expensive? Not if you have to do it TWICE with other gaskets.
