Cadillac Repair: 92 Deville rear exhaust manifold removal, cylinder head bolts, coolant temp


Question
I am replacing the head gaskets on a 92 Deville w/4.9 and I am having trouble getting the rear exhaust manifold off.  The book says to remove the lower bolt from bracket at the mount but the bracket on the lower right bolt seems to have about 4 or 5 bolts through it with danger of having to remove the motor mount to get that last stud from the manifold. Is there a tip or better description of how to remove this manifold besides the description above from a HAYS MANUAL?

Answer
REMOVE OR DISCONNECT:

1. Neg battery cable.

2. Air cleaner.

3. exhaust cross over pipe.

4. 02 sensor connector.

5. coolant temp sensor connector.

6. two forward , upper exhaust manifold to cylinder head bolts.

7. Raise car.

8. Manifold to converter exhaust pipe.

9. support engine cradle with screw jacks and remove rear cradle bolts. Loosen front cradle bolts.

10. slightly lower engine cradle.

11. Five remaining exhaust manifold to cylinder head attaching bolts.

12. Exhaust manifold.
