then ya aint been busting ur ass hard enough,like i was told when i was younger,the parts didnt grow in there

btw if the 2 bolts u have left are the ones neares the firewall there easier to get from the bottom with a short wrench

i have a better solution... PB Blaster :D

it took me 2 days to do my headers myself when i was 17...it just took me a week to swap the motor by myself...

i know its tough for the headers..the manifolds are a bitch...be happy its not your daily driver and you need it to get to school or work every day....dont give up...i mean if you dont like working on cars its one thing..but if you really enjoy it just take your time and do things right..

deffinatly get a can of PB Blaster.

PB Blaster is da shizzle fo' dizzle!

:werd:

definately is, bought my first can of it like 2 days ago and that stuff kicks ass! works really well on rusted EGR bolts :grin: also i decided to take the heat shields of off my manifolds but that didnt work out cuz i dont have a jack here at school and didnt feel like monkeying with the rear ones. i got the front one off on both sides, whats funny was the driver side one broke off :lol: i soaked it in PB then tried to get it off and something felt a little rubbery when i was twisting the ratchet and after a few times i just see the bolt come out with the nut still attached to it! :laugh: i plan on gettin the other 4 bolts out (2 on each side) sometime soon... stupid heat shields...

lol ever think that those heat sheilds are on there for a reason? better check to see what kind of wiring and **** is arounfd those shields before u take them off

the only wires that i know that are around there are the spark plug wires and the o2 sensors at the bottom. i dont see why it would make a difference, (non ceramic coated) headers dont have heat shields..

as long a snothing is realy close to the manifolds i wouldnt worry about it, on some cars there are things that do get close enough,that if u take off the heat shirelds u could damge them

what im sayin is theyd come off anyway if i put headers on there
