Just a quick FYI. Two of my header bolts broke off and ended up being an absolute nightmare and a common one. I bought every single bolt releaser there is and ended up towing the car to a machine shop. The headers are sweat though. I went with ebay units and they worked great. Lined up perfectly

Have had a lot of experience with undoing stuck and busted bolts. I worked my way through college as car and motorcycle restorer for a private collector, my last go-round was pulling cracked full Ti bolts for a customer. When I was done you could not tell that I had done any work on the part.

Missing bolt part (999-072-009-09), can't wait to see the hack-up work that has been done in the past.

This is an interesting fact as I was also missing the same bolt on my 98'. Wonder if this is common.

My manufactured by Yugo shift linkage is in very bad shape, going to see if I can have new ends made.

WoW! Great work kashmir! I was going to suggest we do some of the work together but you are WAY TOO ORGANIZED! Not bad but I work like a "cave man" compared to laying out your tools - like a surgeon! Care to operate on an 02 S, doctor?

Use hand impact to help loosen bolts.

Then use breaker bar to undo bolts, then remove flywheel.
