I'm having trouble installing my shorty equal lengh headers, I cant fit a socket around the head of the bolt b/c of the clearance between the bolt and the tubbing, and its hard to get a wrench in there b/c of all of the tubbing also.. anyone got any suggestions?

i had to use an open end wrench and just inch it around a lil at a time, or buy the bolts with the alan fitting in the head. It's pretty much a *****.

"inch" it around? I had to use an open wrench and "millimeter" it around, LoL. It wasn't pretty and takes forever.

well i've got to the point where I cant get around it anymore, is the alan wrench idea the only one left now?

When I got to that point, I just got a small open wrench. I wasn't able to get the wrench all the way over the head, but I was able to get just enough to get it to turn. It was about halfway down the head. Then because of the tight space and weird angle I could literally only turn it a fraction of an inch at a time.

Just get the smallest, thinnest wrench you can find that will fit.

I got a 3/8th's box end and ground the outer side until it was really thin. It works pretty well, and for the ones that you still cant get to use an open ender. It is a PITA though!
