Pop the 2 10mm nuts on each side of the actuator,and give it a Tap with a hammer or something.It will just Pop off.(It is only held there by the nuts holding it Stuck to the Gasket.).Just Look at the actuator before removal to See the position of It.So you can put it back the same way.
That should give you a clear shot at the Upper manifold Nuts.

 

Yeah the actuator diaphragms come off really easy and there are no small parts you have to account for either.

 

Use a swivel socket:

 

+1 definitly came off really easy.... and the gaskets were made from that rubber gasket maker **** so they peeled right off....

next problem...... (see pic) so
