I likely need to replace the six gaskets on the left hand side.

This guy basically disassembles the whole mainfold assembly:

I imagined undoing the 6 flange nuts and a couple of other bits to free the centre and lifting the entire left hand manifold assembly enough to slide the gaskets in. The procedure in that video looks like a full day's work with plentiful opportunity to break unbroken stuff and create more problems. Is there a simpler procedure?

Do both sides, no point just doing one side.

Everything's recently done. Just looks like one came loose and blew its gasket so I was just going to check the torque on the other side. Apparently they often end up looser than spec one way or another.
