how hard is it to gain access to the studs on the rear cylinders exhaust port. I've heard that it requires you to rotate the engine forward on it mounts! Is this true? What tools would be needed for this job? I have a dent in my rear header pipe from a previous owner and thought about replacing them.

i got mine off with a 3/8 universal joint (a 'wobblie' socket would work too). or to make it even easier, use a 1/4 inch drive. either way make sure to lube it up a day in advance with some PB blaster so you don't snap a stud and kick your self for it.
