OBX LT headers install tips?

Any tips for those that have already done this? I started today and thought I would get it done by tonight... I thought wrong. Anyway, main problem I'm having is with super rusted bolts. So I bought some PB blaster and going to let that sit all night before trying again tomorrow afternoon. Also, how am I supposed to remove the passenger side header? I removed the wheel well and can only see 1, maybe 2, of the back top bolts. All of the bottom ones and front 2 are blocked to where I'd have a heck of a time undoing them. Finally, how do you remove the stock studs? I bought stage 8 locking header bolts to replace them, but not sure how they come out.

Passenger side, you need to remove the starter. That will help with access. You still need to have small hands and be double jointed though. I put mine on when the motor was being installed and still had a heck of a time with the pass side. The studs come out by putting a real small socket on the end, I want to say its like a 4mm or so. Be real careful because if they're rusted enough, they'll break. Your also gonna have a heck of a time putting the retaining clips for the stage 8s on. I couldn't get 2 of the lower passenger ones, I just have too big of hands / arms to get in there.
