Honestly, the easiest way is to take the head off and pull the exhaust manifold off on the bench, if needed. To do this, you'll need to disconnect the downpipe from the exhaust manifold. Not the easiest task, but with enough extensions, you can get to the bolts from under the car.

thats basically how i did it. i used like 3 extentions and a large ratchet for leverage.

when i put the headers on this time i put the rear one on before i put the head in the car.

That is the best way. Just make sure you torque the snot out of it when the dp goes back together. I searched for an hour to find my exhaust leak until I realized that.
