How in gods name do you remove the header bolt off of the #4 cylinder, it has that bracket running from one of the pipes attaching to the header bolt, and its completely blocking my way of getting anything on it; so please tell me how you do this.

conversely, when Im ready to reinstall the headers, how do I torque them down, there really dosent seem to be enough clearance to fit a torque wrench on them because of the actual header tubes

any help with any of this would be appreciated!
