Help Needed-Header Install

[yellow05gt]

Anyone have any tips on how to get the top right bolt off the factory headers when taking them off???? It's perplexing. I can't seem to be able to get anything around it at all to even start it. Thanks for any help!

I don't remember exactly how I got that bolt off but you have to jack the engine up for a few of the bolts, a swivel head ratcheting wrench is a must on some and I did use a swivel on a socket on one or two of them.

Hope this helps.

Yep I remember that bastard of a bolt.

Click. Click. Sometimes you'll get lucky and get a click-click.

So I got that one off and the new one in. Anyone know how to get a starter bolt out of the bell housing without taking the tranny down and tearing it apart????

If you don't have one of these, you shouldn't be working on cars you should also get a mechanical pickup tool (claw grabber) for things that aren't metal

I used a stubby ratchet wrench for the most part.

I used this and got it out thank god! Me heart dropped when it happened though. Not going to lie haha. Finished the install and have to drive 20 minutes open headers this morning to get rest welded in. It sounds insane like this though
