Need help replacing exhaust manifold

Can anyone give some instruction on replacing my exhaust manifold? I have a new gasket set and the exhaust manifold, just need to know how to do it.

Thanks, Joel

This is on a '81 CJ5 with a 258 I6 and regular exhaust, no header.
 

It is a pretty straight forward deal. Remove the overburden, breather, carb ect.... Un hook exaust at the flange. PB Blaster the heck out of the bolts studs nuts ect..... let st a bit. Ease out the bolts all around. The gasket is an intake exasut combo deal. Clean the pot surfaces real good not letting any crap get into the ports. Clean the intake port sufaces same way on the manifold. Reverse the opperation. My last gasket came with a new exaust donut make sure you have one for the re install. All from memory so dont shoot me if I missed or messed up some part. Best advice I can give is spend a few bucks for a Haynes Manual. Tug
