Default Steering Shaft Removal
Im in the middle of a cam swap and i have only 4 bolts left on the drivers side head so i can get it off and move on with the swap. however my header is in the way and it wont drop down low enough without hitting the steering shaft. how can i move it out of the way...

I was able to get the jaw of a water pump plyer into the gap ahead of the bolt. pried a little to free it up then pull it off.
