Little help on header install Its going pretty well, just ran into a few problems. Main is the plug wires, alot of them came apart because the boots are pretty stuck on the plugs and are ripping when you go to take them out. Need to get a couple out on the passenger side, any suggestions? Been trying all sorts of things to get them out.

Have you taken the coils off? That will give you alot of room on the passenger side, should let you get a good hand on the boots. Its just 5 10mm bolts and one wire harness.

hold the metal part of the boot and move side to side as you pull.

and after you get all your coil pack bolts out, you will only need to put 2 of them back in, cuz they just hold the coil pack mount onto the valve cover. you will know why when you go to remove them cuz there is one in the rear thats a bitch to get to.

move them around in a circle and back and fourth while trying to pull them out, that seemed to work for me some where more difficult to get out the others just be patient and prepare for hand cramps I had to twist my arm weird ways and found that it was easiest to get the rear ones from under the car
