How lucky do I feel? Stock headers have been there since built in 99, I am going with new bolts, but how many will break? :lol_hitting:
-
It'll be shit, no doubt.
When I did my '98 TJ, I covered the manifold bolts in penetrating oil for 3 or 4 nights before I did the job.
Didn't break any bolts.
Access is really shit, especially to the ones underneath, which you can barely see. There's not enough room to get a breaker bar to them, so I found I was best off locking two spanners together and doing it that way.

91 YJ...... Just put lots of penetrating fluid the day before......then windy gun and off they came.
Best of luck.... :icon_super:

How'd you get a windy gun to the ones underneath?

Cheated....l.took the front wing off :icon_biggrin:

If you run the engine first they will be hot and should come out easier :icon_winkle:

:iagree:

Done a couple of xj's before, they were easy enough, wj's must have more room :lol_hitting:
Will order my bits from lightys tomorrow & soak the bolts over the weekend
