So, for those that have done this,

Does anyone have tips/hints on removing old AWD OEM headers for new HM AWD headers?

I'm looking at fitting mine this weekend.

They are very straight forward,

First of all, reuse your existing gaskets between your old manifold and the head, these are stainless gaskets and rarely leak

Secondly, just take your time, the hardest part is the EGR pipe, I usually remove the upper inlet manifold just to give me a little more room to play in

When you remove the oxy sensor from the old system, make sure is cold, also dont force it, once you crack it, you may need to go back and forwards a little to crack the carbon off the thread
