Can't get drivers side Hooker LT in
 
Hey guys, I got my passenger side header in without issue, didnt even have to drop the starter. The drivers side just does not want to go in though. Ideas?

Remove the steering linkage and it will slide right in.

You also have to remove the oil diverter (just above the oil filter) for the hookers.

I recently installed a set of PPC LTs. Had to get the front end up 36" from the front "chin" to the floor. They went in vertically without a hitch.

Is that easy to remove? I really haven't looked at it. Thanks for the replies guys!

yeah its only 2 small bolts that are easy to get to. Also take the steering knuckle off and make sure you got your car as high as possible. The higer it is the more manuevering you can do.

Yep, unbolt the steering linkage... a couple of bolts and that driver's side header will slide up to where it needs to be.

The diverter and linkage and it will 'fall' right in. :)

Two 10mm bolts for the diverter and two 11mm bolts for the linkage. DON'T forget to put the diverter back in - or upside down! ;) Ditto on the steering linkage - lol.
