great new way to get stubborn rear passenger side header bolt out

I had everything dissconnected except the last (and most infamous) rear passenger side manifold bolt. So I finally got so mad that I grabbed what was left of the AIR on the manifold and shook it it like crazy, while spraying tons of WD40. So the bolt finally came loose and I was able to extract it with a stubby wrench. So in conclusiong, when you find yourself getting crazy mad, shake the manifold like its your job and the bolt will come off.

Same with mine, except for a little difficulty with the back one. Once I went at it from underneath, it came right out though.

Mine was really easy to get out.

Of course, it was on the engine stand at the time...
