^^dude wtf are you talking about? not sure if youre serious or not, but dont give out information youre pulling out of your ass! the front O2's are very important on these cars, they are wide band sensors and are used to achieve proper a/f ratios

After day 2 of this adventure I was able to get another header bolt, the starter and 2 motor mount bolts the reason my progress was so slow was due to the top starter nut being impossible for me I called in a mayday and a friend helped me outttt, the story continues tomorrow.

Be careful with that steering rod bolt. That's soft aluminum and you don't want to jack up the threads.

Draw a line with a marker on the shaft and the knuckle and just pull the shaft out, granted you've removed the (2) 10mm bolts from the steering assembly under the dash. You just want to shove the steering rod towards the firewall. Straight back and then just move the shaft over and lay it on the frame out of the way.

Make sure your steering wheel is locked so none of this moves.

Steering shaft bolt is hitting k member and I have gone way to far to go back and move the steering wheel im hoping that thats out enough to where I can just pull it out

the steering shaft shouldnt be an issue, just turn the wheel a little so you can get the bolt out, the shaft will not slide out until the bolt is all the way out. I made sure my bolt was facing straight down so it came right out.........
