    Trying to remove my 355 headers to have them redone. I'm starting on the driver's side since that's the easier one (no oil cooler).

    I have all the lower bolts out and one of the top bolts out of the 8 that hold the header to the block. However, the rearmost three on the top are stumping me. Can't get any decent socket around them and still have any leverage to pop them off.

    Has anyone done this before, and if so, is there a specialty tool or a modification to a tool that makes this doable? I have some ideas but haven't had time to peruse Sears or SnapOn to see if any of them actually exist.

    Thanks!

    Never mind. Came off reasonably easy with a 1/4" drive ratchet & breaker and a 13mm socket. A little tight, but accessible.
