i finally cleared out my garage so i have enough room to do my engine swap. i'm trying to remove the h-pipe and got three out of the four nuts, that go to the headers, but can't seem to get my socket on the last one. its the one right above the oxygen sensor on the passenger side, right next to the starter. is there a special method on getting to that nut? do i have to remove the starter? how do i get that damn to that damn nut?

That is the one bolt you will need a universal swivel socket for. I use several extensions and a swivel socket adapter to get to that bolt. Once you loosen it you should be able to reach up there with your hand and twist it off. Use PB Blaster if you haven't already.

i got mine with a small swivel extension after the socket then some straight extensions. When i put the pipes back on i removed the o2 sensors first.

i didnt use a swivel and got it allright. you just need a real long extension

I just went to autozone and bought like a foot long extension or so.

Yeah but I ended up twisting the studs clean off the headers anyways, thats how I ended up with ceramic shorties, lol.

bobby

I was just going to bolt the x pipe up to the stock headers while the headers only had 1 remaining stud each, but while I was at work my dad started taking off my headers, and I was like wow, this is way easier than I thought, and then I ordered some ceramics.

ya, we were taking off mine and snapped some, then my granpa just thought hek, well just call advance and order some new ones. i was like, im getting headers! lol.
