Very rarely works on FB engines due to heat stress on the manifold. Best way is get one side on and pry the other.
I've tried all sorts of tricks. After 200-300 times I've tried everything and putting one end on/pry the other to spread is the easiest, best, and safest way to do it. The main problem is the flange twists some too (you can see that in the photo).
