5.4 exhaust gasket change

Where can I find direction on how to get to the bottom 3 exhaust manifold nuts on the passenger side of my 2005 F150 Lariat? The engine was replaced 25,000 miles ago so nuts are coming off no problem. Just need to know procedure. Take out starter, loosen motor mount and jack up engine etc. I would also need to know how to do those as well. Looks impossible to get to top starter bolt. Which part of the motor mount do I loosen? How far can I jack up the motor before something doesn't like it? Thanks for any help! Truck is sitting in driveway blocking my other car.....Thought this was going to be easier. Need to get it done and go to work 1st thing in morning m

As for the starter, a 4'' exstenion and a deep 13mm, maybe a 6" exstention and shallow 13mm, you can jack the engine up untill it stops, remove the passenger side motor mount nut. You'll have to shove your hand in between the block and frame and use a 1/4" ratchet or gear wrench, its a tight fit but you can get the last three.
