Default I need HELP intalling Hooker LTs

Please HELP! I can not get the drivers side header in. Do I need to remove the motor mount or will it go in without removing it. Also, how do I take the steering shaft off up by the firewall or down where it goes into the rack.

You dont have to remove the motor mount.You do have to remove the little adapter above the oil filter though.Take the bolt out of the top of the steering shaft and it should slide up so you can move the shaft around freely once its disconnected from the rack.Let me know if this helps.

the instructions tell you what you need to do.... i pulled the plug wires, plugs, the oil adapter thing above the oil filter(have something handy to let the oil drain in. its not a whole lot of oil but enough to make a mess)and the steering shaft and it slid right in. on the shaft youll see 2 12mm bolts i think it is. take them all the way out and u might have to add a little bit of pressure but it will slide right out. instal the o2 senors before putting the header in there. it makes things easier and youll need to modify the fuel line heat shield a little bit. youll see where when you get it up there.when putting the headers in get some havy duty plastic bags to put the headers in so they dont get scratched. hope this helps.
