Default DCsports header install. Special tools?

Ok- I know this has been discussed before but I can't find it in a search so here goes.

I'm having a local shop install my headers. So far they've been at it for approx. 10 hours, the main problem is trying to tighten the upper bolts. There was a special socket that was mentioned here on this site which made the install much easier. Anyone know what it was? Thanks

You might also have a problem removing the wrench after tightening up the top nuts. If that is the case, get a closed end wrench and grind it to a thinner width so you can pull it back out.

Agreed...I did most of my install with a 14mm wratchet wrench with the folding head.
