I have stillen headers being delivered right now for my 06mt coupe. Any advice to make it easier? Ive done it before on I4 motors so im familiar with the basics, i just dont know what kind of space ill have to work with.
thanks

 

better call some friends and have them bring over beer. alot of beer.

 

i4s are super easy. from what i hear its a b1tch to get to get to the bolts. better get some pizza whiile your at it

 

Small or skinny hands with long fingers will help.

My NISMOs required the studs to be replaced in a faily specific order so that they would all align and allow them all to be replaced. It took the shop some trial and error to find the proper sequence and then it was straight-forward.

Patience may prove to be a great tool to have on-hand. That and those little/skinny hands.

 

+1 for l of the above. Ratchet wrenches came in handy as well for my install. Tight squeeze in there.

 

well, ive got a lift avalible, rachets, food/beer now i need to find someone with skinny fingers. Anyone in Northwest FL, that has done it?

 

I used the instructions on this link. Very helpful.

Biggest thing is PATIENCE. I've installed quite a few sets and each one still SUCKS! The drivers side is alot easier due to there being more room to work. You can get to most of the drivers side ones from up top. The fact you have a lift is VERY helpful. I've done one set on jack stands and screw that ever again. Definately have a 14mm ratchet wrench handy. For the front one on the pass. side. Try getting a wobbly 14 on a extension up to it from the side, you have to move some stuff around but thats the easiest way to get to it. Good luck!
