A large set of pliers can help do this well, but you definitely want to try and twist the boots and break them free from the plug as well as pull them down off the coil.
You want to grab onto the wire on the plug end and try, twist, and pull. Once you have the bolts out, then I recommend removing all your spark plug wires. And actually, once they come out most of the way, they come out fairly easily. If you do have to remove that rear one which is broke on mine, you may actually even have to use just a 10mm wrench and another wrench to break it free. And depending on which bolt you may have to use a shorter or longer extension. So you can remove the bolts and then let your engine cool down to do the other steps. My experience is that while the engine is still hot it's easier to break those free. Once you get it on there you can hear I broke it free. So you see I have a 10mm socket and a ratchet and a longer extension. I like to remove these while the engine is still hot, and when you do that, you just have to be careful. There are three that are easy to see, and then there's another one further forward, and another one even further forward that's a little tougher to videotape. You want to remove the other 5 bolts that hold the exhaust manifold on. As I put the screwdriver down there there's actually no bolt head. You can see the very back bolt, that's my broken one.
#EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS DRIVER#
On our truck, we're going to be working on the left hand or driver side of the engine.
Items you'll need are a new bolt set from, 10mm and 12mm sockets, a ratchet with an extension or with a couple of extensions shorter and longer, a large pry bar, locking style pliers, regular pair of pliers, torque wrench, and a 12mm wrench. Especially more prone when you use your vehicle to tow and stress the engine more. It has the 5.3L but these manifold bolts are prone to breaking on any 5.3L or 6L GM truck or SUV.
