Taking the trans out

[DoubleThePower]

I am in the process of taking my brother's 5sp trans out to redo the clutch and i've ran into a huge problem. The header is in the way of letting us get it out. What is a way or the easiest way for me to get it out? Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

Long Tubes?

 

[DoubleThePower]

yeah they are bbk longtube headers. It's barely not enough room to get it out.

 

[stangman]

you're going to have to loosen one of the headers

what's the easiest way to get to the back 2 header bolts off?

 

[Trublu01]

I had someone with small hands do it with a multitude of tools. sorry.

From the bottom or from the top? I'm sooooo not looking forward to this lol

well when we did mine i was underneath it, but there was no k-member in there either & it was up on a rack. so i'm thinking the top might be easier for you

 

[DoubleThePower]

Yeah and i definitely dont wanna do that again lol.....i'm beginning to wish i did the clutch before i installed the exhaust

 

[Trublu01]

Did it from under the car!

So it's not possible to loosen the driver side instead? That sucks..
