Replaced the gasket between the exhaust manifold and down pipe. It wasn't as straightforward as I had hoped. There wasn't enough clearance where the pipe goes through the chassis to drop the pipe far enough to clear the studs. Had to take out the engine mounting bolts and jack up the front of the engine about an inch. There was then just enough clearance to remove the old gasket and fit the new gasket with new nuts and spring washers. As has been said before getting down under the car (I have an EZ CarLift) is easy, getting back up is more of a challenge
