Jethot install How do you get these 2%#@ bolts?

Okay.... the guy who put together my headers must have been drinking on the job... all the other bolts went in peachy keen...now there's these two on the end... and there's no room to turn em with a wrench or a socket and they only twist in half way. Anyone know a trick to this? These two bolts are whipping my ***.

I hate working on my car..I feel your pain. I get so pissed when I open my hood and have to work on it. I'm like.."ohh I need 5cm hands to do this job. "

Do you mean the 2 Header bolts in the back or what??

I believe we got mine in from underneath. And i could tighten them from the top or bottom but mine were Hooker Headers.


Try that. That might help.

Not sure if it will help you but with my Macs i had to cut one of my 7/16 box wrenchs in half to be able to squeeze it in there. Even then I could only get a little bit of turn on the back bolt.
