Default Some q's about pacesetters before I install.

How do they slide up into each side? Are they a bitch or do they need a lil love or do they just slide in?

I may have to tap a hole in my head cuz i think it's f*d from when i did my heads/cam, anyone have ANY tips on what tap to use? I know the size is M8x1.25

The o2's, how do I get them off? wrench? what size?
thanks

do i need locktite? what kind?

On the passenger side, you will need to remove the Starter and on the divers side there is a little block you will need to grind down about half inch. You will see it once you get there. Its pretty much there to **** you and and to get in your way. On the bolts use a medium stength lock tight. I dont remmeber what size on the O2s for the wrench but yes its a wrench. Unplug them before you try to uncrew them. Hope that helps a little bit. Yes after removing those they do slide up in there with a drop of love. I give the install a 8/10

Passenger's side slid right in. Driver's side I had to disconnect the steering linkage and it slid right in as well. Make sure when you disconnect it tht you don't rotate the steering wheel.

bigblackz is right on the money, I moved my wheel and ended up trying to put that bolt back in backwards Felt pretty dumb. Bolts are a sob to get in with the air, and egr still on. Would not do that again. Still trying to get to the first 3 plugs on the pass. side?
