Exhaust manifold gasket blown at #5,6 cyl

2012 Maxxforce 13
So I've been chasing exhaust leak in recent weeks thinking that the egr supply tubes were leaking but at closer inspection found leaks on both #5 and #6 cylinders. Fumes enter the hvac at idle mostly. As this is still not that bad I know it'll get worse. I'm trying to get prepared for unenviable as best as I can with the help from you folks.
Now, what do I need to remove to get to this ridiculous exhaust manifold.
#1 turbos obviously
Not sure about items below:
#2? drain coolant
#3? remove CCOS
#4? remove oil filter assembly - I hope not
#5? do I really need a turbo alignment tool for turbo installation - I surely hope not $$$
I have Engine Service Manual but there is no mention of exhaust manifold removal procedure, only turbo. It'd be essential to know which components are involved so I can estimate downtime and have better overall idea what I'm going to deal with since I'm trying to tackle this project myself. Thanks in advance

 

Sorry, forgot to include the focal point of my question.
It's a 2012 Maxxforce 13 , LOL

 

I'd pay you 5 hours to do it and that wouldn't be enough LOL but seriously Jesus christ, I did not expect that. You saved me from the misery, I was about to start ripping everything out like a maniac.
One thing I wanted to ask you, what kind of drive is used on the manifold bolts as I never encountered this type of head before (5 or 6 star pattern)
Thanks Heavyd, I sure appreciate your advice and time you took to shed some light on the issue. You're the best brother.

 

Awesome info, very valuable stuff.
Im sure, there'll be more questions down the road but for now you've made my day.

 

Heavyd,
I have some additional questions. I got updated rear piece of exhaust manifold (see attached picture) and was told (by parts guy at dealership) that it won't fit old center section for its too thick on flange portion however I disregarded his advice as I believe you who did this job before know better if it fits or not.
My question is in regards to FAY ring and exhaust mani to head gasket installation.
First, I have set of 8 FAY rings and it looks like that 1 groove can take 4 rings. There are 2 grooves so that would make sense, 4 rings in each groove. Is there a technique that does not require specialty tool while installing manifold with rings in place? Also at what point the "manifold to head gasket" goes in as I imagine it must be tight in there once rear section manifold is coupled with the center one. I'd like to avoid damaging that gasket. Thanks in advance for the help, Jacob
