Anyone know how to
Remove the bolt retaining the AC lines to the compressor with Kooks headers installed?
Even with the compressor loose I can barely get my hand back there to find it's a 13mm bolt, then comes the issue of reinstalling the bolt when replacing the compressor.

I just had mine off in Dec. I used a long extension with a swivel adapter on the end and threaded it thru from behind where the Kooks comes out from the bottom. If you remove the wheel you can kind of get a wrench on it, but I couldn't get it loose that way. Getting bolt back in is a little trickier. I used my magnetic pickup tool and stuck bolt on end of it, and was able to get it started enough to get socket on it. That again was running from behind where header comes out from bottom. HTH and good luck with it.
