You will need a 30mm socket or wrench. First, pull straight up on the 4 rubber spark plug seats (the things with wires running out of them). Warning, if these wires are older they may break off while you are pulling on them, leaving part of the connection down the tube that the spark plugs are in. Use a long nosed needle nose pliers to remove the connection IF the wire seats break off. You do not need to remove the spark plugs.
After getting the 4 rubber spark wires out of the way, use a 30mm socket or wrench to remove the 4 nuts. Loosen a small amount at a time on each nut, but from the outside 2 then inner, to avoid damaging the threads and having a tremendous problem on your hands. Disconnect the 2 rubber hoses on the right, and pull the plastic unit on the left side up and out of the way carefully.

It takes between 6 and 8 hours to change the head gasket on a Dodge. The actual time will vary based on the skill level of the mechanic and the availability of tools.
Jack-up, wrench, anyway, it's very difficult to change it
I believe you need 17 mm box wrench for that.
There is no bottom head gasket. There is just a head gasket. One gasket for each head. The intake and exhaust manifold must be removed. Then the head is removed. This is a major repair, requiring skill, knowledge, and the proper tools. Take it to a professional.
But a new gasket. Using the appropriate tools remove cylinder head and all attached items according to manufacturers instructions. Remove existing gasket and clean cylinder block and head. Fit new gasket according to instructions and reattach removed items.
Let a professional do it, he will need specialized tools to reinstall the CV joint.
no. if you get the proper tools, Hayne's manual, and work space, you can do it. However it is not easy or can be done fast. You also need a new head gasket (head gasket sets are your best bet) and someone who has done it before to help
having all the required tools and spares available, no more than an hour
