Alright guys, i know you will say SEARCH! but i have tried and couldnt find exactly what do to. unless im not using the right "Search WOrds".

On the kamikaze headrs, for those of you who have installed them, or any header that is aftermarket, how did u get the bolt off fromt he bottom left!? that freakin bolt is the hardest ***** to get at!

Any help would be apreciated much!

thanks guys!

 

Some pull off the power steering pump, some notch the bracket to get a socket on it. I just used a wrench and did the old 1/8 turn and flip the wrench, time consuming but works.

 

i did a thread bout this a while back, dont know how the seach didnt bring anything up but, all we did was use a wobble socket

 

whats a wobble socket and where can i buy one if i dont have one?

 

The easiest way is to pull the black plastic cover for the timing belt and bend the metal piece back as far as you can and get at it from there.... It is a very easy way to get at that tricky left nut!


After you use this method you can put a header on and off all day long~

 

lol those damn left nuts do it every time, but ill take your advice and hopefully get that bastard off tomorrow!

thanks for the help guys.

 

Same way I did mine and it's TIME CONSUMING. Almost all of my install time was removing and replacing that damn nut...

 

And yes, I did read through these...

*sigh* I had the same problem when I installed my turbo.. I just notched the steering pump bracket with a carbon tip on a drill, took me about 5 minutes but looks really clean.

 

thats cool, i may wait till like spring or till it gets warm again to install these, its sooo cold out today.!!!! i hate it.

but once i do go and install these i have the ideas and helpful hings from u guys.

thanks.

 

use one of those 5 or 6 inch open end wrench and just try to take it off from the top. all you're really trying to do here is crack the initial seal. it'll move like maybe a centimeter or two cuz thats all the space you have. then after you break the seal, just loosen it from the bottom(bellow and behind the header). got it off in maybe 5 mins the first time around(with a cooled off engine, of course ).

 

thanks for the advice. Ill try it once it stops being so damn cold out here!

 

if u take off the cover like i did... make sure u put a cloth over the gears... dont want to lose any pieces down there

 

DITTO DITTO DITTO, dont do it any other way! soooooo easy, took me 5 min to get that bolt off. make sure you put a towel or something down where the timing belt is so you are sure not to drop any tools/bolts down in the housing, otherwise youre gonna have yourself one hell of a sticky wicket.

 

did anyone change the header gasket upon their install? and if so where would i pick up one of these from?

thanks
