I removed the coil packs, valve covers and steering linkage then dropped them in from the top.

I've installed many sets of mids, never a single issue. They all went in like butter.

Sometimes you have to force em a little bit, there is actually a thread that links to a MAC header install somewhere. It might be a prior post of mine when I put mine in. But you can ask gillbot any questions and he knows a MAC install very well.
