Body Damage is Cool
How in the heck am I supposed to remove the 6 exhaust crossover nuts? Got 2 each side out, worked on the last 2 for a little bit, then called it a day. Anyone with first hand experience got any suggestions?? My first 3.0 gasket swap. Any help greatly appreciated!!

i had a hard time, and i only took one side off. i bought a star socket to go on the end of the studs. it worked better than i thought it would...even after 230k miles. some of them broke, and i think i cut some in half after pulling them apart a bit. it took me a coupla days to get everything off. good luck man.....PB blaster is your friend
