on a 96 accord, how do you take off the three bolts underneath the stock header

 

Can you find a picture, or a diagram? Pretty Vague.

 

do you mean the bolts between the upper half of the header and the downpipe?

 

A can of PB blaster and a breaker bar will do.

 

yeah, the three bolts on the header where the downpipe is.. the bolts face the ground so its kinda hard to get to. ill post a picture when i get a chance.

 

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.

 

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

 

hmm

 

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.

 

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.

 

yeah sorry, im installing a turbo and need to take off the stock header.. got ahead of myself.

 

3/4' ratchet and extension always does the trick for me.

 

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.

that's a BIG RATCHET!

 

Just drink lots of beer and punch it in half. That's what I do

 

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
