Ok, I have spent all day trying to get my exhaust manifold off to install my headers.

I have got all the bolts lose now EXCEPT the 2 on the drivers side cross-over pipe to manifold connection. Those buggers are on there good and there is no room to get any leverage.

So who has got the stock exhaust manifold off? How did you get those bolts off? At this point I just have all the bolts lose but not off in case I can’t finish this.

Any words of wisdom?

For those that don’t know, you have about 1 – 2 inches of space behind these bolts and can only get to them at about a 90 degree angle. And yes I have tried a universal joint already, no good it just binds.

 

Well finally figured it out, i had to cut a deep 12 point socket down a little but i got it on and poped it lose.

I spent well over 6 hours on those 2 bolts alone!!!
