Default Ready for header install, but...

I have a '98 T/A with approx. 52,000 miles. To prepare for the header install I need your advice in prepping the old manifold bolts for removal. What did you guys do??? Thanks

Normally just using hand tools is ok. Do NOT use air tools to get the bolts out and you should be ok.

Use a liberal amount of Liquid wrench and then let them sit for an hour or 2.

They have locktite on them.. they will be slow
all the way out.. Frustrating I must say..
After I got them out I used an dremel with
wire brush to clean them up. It made it easy
to re-install.
