blown XJ

hey just got back from the sweet home mud fest it was an awsome event except for the fact i smoked my clutch and i blew out my header ghasket. i had the header instaled about 8 months ago it cost me about 700 bucks i was wondering how hard it would be to put a new gasket in myself i put on a 8 inch life myself so im decently mechanicly savy but it took the shop 7 hours so if anyone could help with tools needed and the correct order to do so would be greatly appriated
 

dag gumit. i missed another mudfest. crappity crap crap. well anyway. it doesnt sound all to horibly hard, but not very easy eather. you would have to remove your intake manifold unless you can figure out how to get your fender and everything out of the way but im sure thats alot harder. once the intake is out of the way it shouldnt be too hard from there. you dont even have to remove the header from the vehicle. just remove the bolts from the collector then bolts from the header, pull away from head remove old gasket install new one and put everything back together. but then again ive never done it. but that sounds like about right, i think ;)
