Does anyone know what is involved in changing the exhaust manifold on an '89 topaz? Does the motor need to be pulled??

Thanks

I am new to the fourm, I have done it on my 90 tempo with out pulling engine. From underneth. First you must bend a boxend (i think 11/16 to fit the bolts on manifold)I also ground the top of it off so it would grab the bolts better. With the x-hast removed it should come out of there. I did it alone it takes a lot of swearing but you can do it. be carefull so you dont cut or damage the rubber boot on your axel shaft.The old one of mine came out in 3 pieces. Just take your time and you will figure it out.Did mine out in the cold norther minnesota eas like 20 above was not fun but it went.
