i heated up the bolts, lifted the car and got em from the bottom. its a bit of a pain in the *** no matter how you do it, tho.

Re: Turbo Header (AccordSleeperZzZ)
let your car get warm which means the bolts will be really hot...then take a socket wrench with a long extension and a breaker bar and the should come off fairly easy..or at least they did for me

Re: Turbo Header (LengZai)
you have to ask how to remove 3 bolts? 
get under the car and remove them, use an impact gun or a long breaker bar if you want it to be easy, heat helps too.

Re: Turbo Header (JDM_Acccord)
why did you titled the thread "Turbo Header" yet ask about a stock header?
anyway, the way I've done it is to spray it with PB Blaster and let it sit, then use a breaker bar, long extension and socket.

Re: (raceACCORDingly)
if your a somewhat strong guy, just an 3/8 " extension and muscle should do the trick. if your kinda of a small dude, use everything in the book. a friend, lubs, or power tools. mine came off with a few good hmmms. the one connecting to the cat. were just as tough.

Re: Turbo Header (JDM_Acccord)
Jack your car up, WD40 the shyt out of the bolts, get a tight fitting socket and long extension and break em off. If it's still stuck heat it up to get the shyt out of it
