i am having a very difficult time taking off the #15 bolt with the #13 washer (located at the bottom center of the diagram), it was so tight that it bent my ratchet, i sprayed wd40 on it and everything, any suggestions?

 

Go from underneath and use a 2ft breaker bar and 1/2" drive 14mm. It'll come off like butter. If you snap the head off...no big deal. You won't use it on aftermarket header systems.

 

i went underneath and used this hollow metal bar to hook onto my ratchet (this was how i got the header bolts off), but the bolt didn't budge, the ratchet bent like crazy and i'll be going to buy a new one soon (in a matter of minutes)

 

how the hell did u bend your ratchet?????
i would say first get yourself a good set of tools and some pb blaster

but yeah try what invtec said, that should work

 

uh its only a 14mil bolt... are you using a 1/4er drive ratchet?

 

PB BLASTER OWNS STUCK BOLTS.

 

thanks, i'm going to the store now to get a new one

 

From the looks of that diagram, why not just take off bolt #7 and leave that piece there if it doesn't come off?

maybe clearance issue with the new header?

 

stolenhubpcaps, what header did you decide on?? ( I remember you made that post a while back)

 

use a 10' breaker bar, no joke. thats what i have used on those types of things before, tehy stand no chance.
