This might sound a lil wierd but my chest is to big to fit under the car with jack stands under it how are people doing this install at there home without a lift i dont feel like paying a local mechanic 80bucks to do something i could if i could get under the car

someone help how did you do it???? ramps jack stands??? and did you go through the engine bay for the top bolts or the wheel wells>?????

Thanks

 

You must be one Big ****. I am 5'8" 225 with a decent build (Wear a 52 jacket and 34 pant) and I can fit under the car with stands. Just have to make sure you get the car up all the way, if not, it can be tight. Some stands are lower than others, but it mostly comes down to the jack not getting it up high enough. Search out a jack and stand setup that gets up to at least 24" and you 'should' be able to fit- obviously I don't know how big you are. If you really can't get under the car, do what I do when I don't 'fit" some place. Get friend that weighs a buck forty to come over and have him get under the car.

The bolts can be easily reached from under the car if you figure out how to get the car up high enough. Just get a train of extensions and feed them down along the manifolds to hold the bolts while you tighten them from under the car. Pretty straight forward, just need a buddy to help.

 

i guess ill have try again

 

yea the bolts can be reached from the engine bay with about 6 extensions.. as far as getting underneath it. mabey you need taller jackstands?

 

I am not a small guy and fit just fine.

I got at all of the bolt from underneath, the toughest beinge the top ones,, one on each test pipe. The hardest was the driver's side as the steering column is in the way and makes wrench travel tough, yo umight want to disconnect the column and move it ouot of the way.

 

ok so i got under the car now i cant get the O2 sensor off it wont budge any suggestions??? thanks

 

Spray it with some PB Blaster and give it 20 mins...Then try again....

 

come on man you sound like a pretty big dude put your back into it, i got mine off with an adjustable wrench, if that doesn't work then just stick a pipe on the end of the wrench or something to make it longer....oh and make sure you're turning it in the right direction, not trying to offend you or anything because i know i've done that before haha

 

i got them off thanks for all your help and i posted a review in the intake/exhaust section thanks again!!!
