C-5a works well. Never had a problem on my cars or airplanes with it.

Don't need to for a header isntall. You need to take off the steering linkage on the driver side though, assuming these are longtube headers. The steering linkage has 2 bolts i believe.

Had to on my shorties install last night. Chavez is right...two bolts. One at the top and one at the bottom of the linkage (#7). Went right in then.
