Default AR Header Install Question.

I am installing a set of 1 7/8" AR Headers and ran into a bit of a stumbling point. The drivers side went in great but the passenger side header is hitting hard on the AC hard line.

I did a search and found one post about a member that had the same problem and used a mallet on the AC line to get the clearance required. I'd rather not do that.

Has anyone else who has installed this system run into this problem? If so, how did you get around it (jack the motor?)? Thanks for any help you guys can give.

Charlie

TRY USING A PRY BAR, and push it against the frame while sliding it up in to spot.

Default Thanks Steve Doten

Got it! Just took a little rotation of the motor. Thanks Steve!
