Question stuck on header install

[wirelessf]

What did you guys use to remove the bottom exhaust manifold nuts? I'm stuck at this part and almost have to resort to removing the engine mount for this. I do have a bunch of extensions and u-joints, but i dunno the perfect combination to reach those two bolts without removing the engine mounts.

Do yourself a favor and remove the mounts. It only takes a few minutes per side. It will also make it a lot easier to fish the headers in. It is a lot easier to slide the headers in from the back rather than the front. the passenger side there is a lot of room but the drivers side does get tight because of the steering shaft. I just did a set of JBA's on my 01 2 weekends ago and didnt have too bad of a time. Once the mounts are out and the engine is supported on a jack you can actually move it back and forth a few inches to help with clearance.

I decided to remove the mounts one side at a time while doing each header. Gives me plenty room!

Another question, did you reuse the collector gaskets that goes between the header and cat and the y pipe gaskets?

I bought new ones.
