Default Remove bottom bolt of steering shaft? (header install)

So you guys just removed the top bolt and pryed on it to get it out? You didn't remove the bottom bolt? I'm considering taking out the bottom bolt, but it seems like it'd be a real bitch to get back in if the header were there. I'm doing the install now...please help!

Cool

I removed both bolts and lifted it up out of the way. It I remember right the first time I tried to go the wrong way.
Good Luck.

You can also lift the motor. Makes the header install cake.

I took both bolts out, was a bitch to get back in because it only works in one way... but now that I know how I could do it no problem. I saw no other way to get them in. I also notched the block and BFH modded some areas to get them in. Afterwards swore on my life I'd never do another header install on a ls1.
