i am having problems removing the last nut on the front header. The alternator seems to be in the way, how do you get around it.

 

got to use a small ratchet with extension...

Get an offset wrench or ratchet similar to the following:

 

Ok, i got the front and back bolts off but i could not get the bolts there the headers connect to the downpipe or where the down pipe connects to the exhaust. I did use a cheater pipe to help out but it did not

 

Those can be a pain. Use some kind of penetrating spray like "Liquid Wrench". Spray... try loosening. Sometimes you might just have to use an impact wrench... tighten... loosen... tighten... loosen, it will eventually come off.

If you are hand-wrenching this.. make sure you are using jack-stands and be careful!

 

if you cant get the bolts of the header to the downpipe then you dont have the right tools. you need a few long extensions to get them off. those are the easiest to remove.

the top bolt from the downpipe to the cat is a pain in the ass. i suggest removing the cats heatshield to get a good angle on that top bolt. it will make everything easier...

i have the right tools, they are just hard.
I have been spraying down the boltsa with something and i am going to go back at it tomorrow. The impact wrench is a good idea thanks
