pacesetter install help okay couple of things, i have the drivers side manifold off and i went to put the tube that goes in the top of the pacesetters but the on off of the old manifold wont fit, is there some adapter that i need or something? Also on the pass side manifold i cant seem to get in to get the last bolt off, its the one closest to the front bumper, anyone have any tips for getting this on off?

If your AIR tubes won't line up right, you may have headers from a different year model. That tube placement is the reason for there being a variance between year models while you're ordering. You can probably just bend the tubes to make them fit, but I'd junk the whole emissions system all together. Some pics of your situation would help tremendously.
As for the bolt, will it not turn? I usually use a gear wrench or my air ratchet to remove the manifold/header bolts.

The 02 drivers side AIR tube won't fit, if you want it on there, run down to the local parts store and get some heater hose, about a foot, and put that in place of the stock hose, and trim it to fit
For the front passenger side bolt, I used a 1/4 drive ratchet and a swivel socket, along with a 6 inch extension to get it off.
If it won't turn, then hit it with some PB Blaster and let it sit for an hour and try again

Your doing this through the bottom of the car I assume. Just be patient. I had to use a boxed wrench and it took some time. Dont try to rush cuz them you might miss something and then it will be more of a hassle.....

I had the same problem, all I did was just bend it but don't break it ( duh ). I hope you are planning on replacing the spark plugs. this is the best time to do it!
Good Luck!
