My Header to Engine Clamp wont come off the studs!!! Anybody got any tips? It moves about half way up the studs... then locks up. Thanks

Try and take a screwdriver and pry a little on each side and it will come off.

Move the header pipe in diff. directions to change the leverage on the bolts and the clamps.

Don;t get frusturated cause that is when you start breaking stuff.

have you tried some WD-40 ?

This stuff works for everything, kinda like duct tape
