Header Install Help Today i started the process of installing my headers on my 99 z28...and at the point of just removing the air tubes, egr, and coil packs. I was just wondering how people removed the last bolt on the coil pack on the passenger side. I can't even see it and there is minimal space to get a ratchet back there. I was wondering what other people did to remove that last bolt.
Yea use a ratcheting wrench, not a ratchet. Makes it a lot easier. I agree about not putting it back in. You might want to take the coil packs off again to retighten the header bolts or for whatever reason.

Just left them on
I don't know if the 99 set up is different from my 01, but I loosened all the manifold bolts from up top except the back one on the passenger side, then took the Cat off and had a wide open path to it
It was tight to get that one started once the headers were in but if I can get my fat *** arm and xlarge hands in there I would think most everyone else can get it

an endwrench or ratcheting wrech and time is all i can say...i had a friend with long skinny arms too and he helped a lot lol DO NOT reinstall it! you probably need two of those bolts to hold that bracket on so leaving one off will hurt nothing. i can take my coil brackets off in like 10 mins now and it makes getting to the back header bolts so much easier i dont know how some of you left them on there...
