Got almost everything off now, but, how in the hell, do you get the header nuts off? I can easily get to some of them, but...?? Anyone ever installed any headers on a 4.6 in a stang? I think you need to be plastic man so you can contort your appendages and get them in those tight places to undo those nuts.... (getting the feeling I should not have started this.... :roll: )
