Default Pulling out MAC headers...HELP

I have gotten all the bolts out and now I can't get the damn driver side out from underneith. Are there any secrets to getting these things out. Thanks in advance, Brian

They come out the top, not the bottom. Just remove the entire valvecovers.

make sure the steering arm is turned a certain way so that the joint offers you more room too.

What Tony said.. Pull those valve covers off and they will slide right out. You will be able to drop the Macs in from the top with the valve covers off.

Hmmm the last set I put on went in from the bottom with a little spirited persuasion. <img src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" border="0" alt="[guns]" /> <img src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" border="0" alt="[fight]" />

I think its easier from the bottom after you cut a small piece off the block.
