I got mine out easily enough when I removed the headers to paint the engine, I guess I must have been lucky.

From memory I had to drop the headers to get at the inner one, it was tricky as it was hanging on the wire.

Thanks am going to get the headers off anyway. See if i can encourage them out. Have some other stuff to do to it so so not in a rush.
Yoyo did you replace the gaskets on the headers ?
are there gaskets where the 2 headers bolt to the front engine, i thought there was just the 2 clamps that bolt them on
rob
Part 17 Rob.
yep,
see it now it would make sence then to replace them saying that you not got apart yet mark may be ok
rob
Lol just checked the fittings bag and it has 2 gaskets. Don't know how easy my ones will come out. Will clean them all up any way.

Practically fell out when I took the exhaust off my 2018. I did replace them because I had already got them just incase, but looking at them I’d try without replacing them next time.

The stock header collars you bolt to the cylinder head studs are steel, so don’t tighten the aluminium Arrow collars to the torque settings in the manual or they’ll just bend. God knows why they’re aluminium…
