I was woried about my ZJ but the bolts all came out with a crecent wrench.
(pb blaster overnight probably didn't hurt)
> Any other hints?
If you do get one that siezes try more PB blaster on the threads and
tap the end lightly with a hammer/drift to break the crud loose.
Remember, clean both the head and manifold. Don't leave any carbon traces
on the head (a scotch brite pad works good) Bits of sock/papertowel will
help keep crud from falling down the exhaust port. ALthough for the most
part that's only going to be carbon flakes from the exhaust port.
