header install help Two quick questions. What is the best way to get to the back header bolts to remove them? Do the spark plug wires on the spark plug end require twisting, or will they just pop off like the other side?

1) removing or loosening the last bolt on the coil pack, and moving it out hte way. you can use a 1.5 inch extension with a 10mm socket and get it out.
2) they dont twist in...they pop in like the other side.

On the driver side get a 3/8 inch drive wratchet with no extension and go at it from the top.
On the passenger side I found it easier to slide the coil packs up (leaving the back coil pack bolt in) and use a wrench. A 10mm gear wrench would speed up the process greatly. Some people have better luck coming from the bottom.
