Default wrong wrenching angles

i found what i was doing wrong the header tube was in the way of the socket to fully seat so it was slipping off

i couldnt get the torque wrench on the drivers side only one would clear the tubes so what the hell i know they wont snap off at least

i didnt think i had room in the rear for 2 wrenches to tightened the stud unless you use the head of the stud with a special wrench

Huh? Put in the studs by hand or with an allen wrench, put on the headers, then the washer, then the nut with a 12point box wrench or 12point socket. Very easy to reach.
