If you get to the point of removing the exhaust cover: Going SLOW is the best tool.
You need PB Blaster(nothing works as good) a small propane torch a small hammer and the right socket (6 point)or wrench.
Take a couple of pics of the screws and post them.
If there is ANY corrosion or scale on any screws ? Then they will more than likely give you the most trouble.
I start spraying the screws a day or two ahead. Spray a few times each day.
The last day before the actual work begins.Heat the screws after you spray. Then spray and heat a couple of times tapping lightly with the hammer.
This contracts/ expands the metal allowing PB to get into the screws.
Then heat the screws and spray and tap with the hammer then try GENTLY to unscrew.
I have spent 2 hours on 1 screw getting it loose.
Even with all that you might break a screw
