TD header, tune & afpr question

[Doc Harley]

Jon... Just for reference it took me three different brands of 12 mm to get that nut to spin out. Lol.

Trust me.....1/4" drive swiveling 12mm. Easy breezy...thanks to Fatchance!! Just saying

Well I called the wife out and she got it with a shorter 12mm wrench. SMALL HANDS!

Any chance you pulled the underside panel and came up from underneath? That's what I was doing with the wifes help ans she just said let me try with the wrench.

Fatchance warned me about it. But yes, I was reaching. Lol. It was the craziest nightmare I've ever been involved in.
I forgot to mention that I have a few sets of torx heads. Started on the heat shield that's fastened to the tunnel. Snap!!! Ohh, $hit, wrong bit (too soft) what a joke....

Got a pic of the bi/wobble socket that worked on the lower middle nut?

This is what I used for the difficult to reach header fastener...I don't remember it being difficult at all.

Make sure you get the 12 point ones.

Bob, I used the same wrench on the first header replacement, but this time around the bolt was articulated in a way it would just not bite. I used a set that I call Ball sockets but, my particular set isn't a true ball type articulating socket as it's basically a double jointed socket. They worked pretty darn slick and i was able to torque the bolts to spec with these.

You mean you guys don’t have this special wrench?

I ALMOST had one of those until the wife took care of business! LOL. I thought of this exact thing!

If you grind the notch too thin, it'll fold, ask me how I know!
