Default removing driver side long tube header

i got the passenger side out no problem thru the engine bay but my driver side is wrapped around my steering linkage and i cant get it out thru the engine bay. my jack does not go high enough for me to pull it out from underneath. im trying to get the damn things out so i can take them to get glass beaded then hit em with some VHT so they dont look like rusty tubes of ****.

if the steering shaft runs through one of the tubes you'll need to remove /undo the shaft.....if all your having is clearance issues, jack the motor up, which I thought your motor was already out???

there is one bolt that locks the shaft onto the rack, remove it and tap it off with a prybar and hammer
