RE: Installing headers, I need pointers and tips
if you're every planning to do motor mounts this would be an opportune moment...
the headers will be simple as cake (probably a 20 minute job) if the motormounts and stock motor brackets are off the car...the very reason the headers are difficult to access is because of the small clearing between the lower header bolts on both sides and the top of the motor mount brackets...
that's the way I would do it if I had to do it again....
+10 on the gear wrench, with the motormount brackets out of the way you wont need it..but itis literallyIMPOSSIBLE to reach the lower header bolts with anything but a "gear wrench" assuming the engine brackets are still in place

It is definately not a 20 minute job. I spent 20 minutes trying to get one of the bolts on the cat off. I didn't succede, and I decided to wait untill the weekend.
Does anyone know how to remove the large nut on the driver side header? It is some type of vacuum or sensor....
