I don't understand, there is no clearance for a wrench, socket doesn't fit....how in the world can I get them off? I'm pulling my motor and need my headers off...

Yea, I’m not sure, usually a socket and extension will get you in there.

I usually add an impact gun to the equation since they’re almost always frozen and it’s easier to just admit to yourself that you’re going to break them from the get go then futz around with them and then break them later. 600lb-ft... bye bye bolt, then replace them with less then $1 worth of new bolts and you're done...
