Default Hooker Header Install

Hello everyone,
I just singed up but been reading for awhile.
I'm in the middle of putting on Hooker LT. The driver side
stuff came off easy.Having problem with passenger side.
I unbolted the dipstick tube but can not get it pulled out of the way.
Also what is the best way to get the rear sparkplug out ?

You can just pull the dipstick out of the oil pan completely. Just be careful not to knock dirt and such into it. The best way to change the plug is to replace it when you have the header off. Otherwise its a royal pain.

yah i think i ended up using a clamping wrench of some sort and tapped it upwards from the bottom till it came out...and i agree you shouldnt have to take out any of the plugs to get the old headers out...in fact i even left the plug wire on the #7 when taking my stock manifolds off.
