Hey peoples. Dont know wtf happened to my heading.

Any magical way to install these or will I need to like im hoping I dont.. Have to remove the front bar, air con, alternator and and condensor positioned so I can slide them in top side?

Or will I take the back door and remove the engine mount, aircon and squeeze it through?

While im there should I remove the studs and replace with bolts? Dont think I need too but I guess I could.

need answers tonight as it has to be finished tommorrow lol

Do studs if you can as it's easier than having them snap off because they're too old and have been heat cycled one too many times, trapping the remains of the stud in the head. If you don't think it's been done in the life of the car, it's worth doing.

As for fitting them, jack the front up or roll the car up on ramps (my preference for this) and slide it up from underneath. Didn't have to remove anything except the old exhaust from memory.

Good luck.

you'll have to bend one of the pipes to clear the compressor.
