Header installation - Need Help!

"I didnt read all the replys but my suggestion is HEAT and vise grip pliers. The one pic is a stud and you need heat and it will come right out."

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I still have no luck with taking out the "stud" on the cat side. I am still spraying it like mad. Also, this tool that I purchased to deal with the "stud" in the head portion...I don't have enough leverage to drill this bit into it. I'm not making any headway with this contraption called "DRILL OUT".

Anyway, I'll have to get to the store tomorrow and look for a small propane torch to deal with these issues.

Make sure there's no flammable chemicals left on the parts under there before you take a torch to it!

Thanks for the word of caution! You read my mind.
