When installing LTs with a lift

[Volstang]

can you get to the upper header nuts from under the car? I searched and read several threads but didn’t get a definitive answer. I read where people using jackstands reach the upper nuts from up top but not sure about access when using a lift. Not sure how to accomplish that if you have your car on a lift and using a pole jack to support the motor and trans and then needing to get up top.

I put my ARH headers on with the car on jack stands. The only nuts I had to access from the top were the 2 upper/forward nuts on the driver side and the one forward-most upper nut on the passenger side. The rest were easily reached from underneath.

The motor mount brackets have a nut that is easiest to get off from the top.

Thanks for that info!

Just pulled my headers off on jack stands and multiple bolts are easier to get to from the top especially on the drivers side.

Before lifting the car and the motor up take those bolts out first...
