pick up a shop manual. best would be a factory shop/service manual. could try alldata, they let you access electronic factory manuals for a price.

soak the exhaust bolts with pb blaster for a day or two. hardest part is getting the exhaust manifolds off. busted two bolts on mine.

Try a 'search' in this 4th gen sub forum and also the correct sub forum of engine&internals. This topic has to be brought up somewhere I'm sure.
