PD140 Exhaust manifold gasket problem

Hello! I need to change the exhaust manifold gasket for my 2.0 TDI PD140, code is BKD and it makes an awful splutter sound when accelerating, getting pretty desperate.

So is it so easy just to unscrew the bolts, pry the manifold a bit, take the old one out and simply slip the new one in? Or do i need to unscrew everything attached to the manifold should the movement be limited? (EGR cooler, turbo lubrication oil pipe??). It’s just that the engine bay is pretty cramped so fewer parts to fiddle with is better
