Question Header Swap

I bought a set of shorty style headers for my 2001 E55 almost a year ago and never got around to putting them on. My question is what if any special tools will I need to swap the the stock headers with the new shorty style headers?

Thanks in advance!

The headers are from VRP in southern California.

Pretty much follow those instructions.

Also plan on buying new gaskets and probably hardware too. Other than that, just be patient... it can be difficult to get to some of the fasteners.

Jeff, thanks for the link. I noticed in the pictures that write-up pertains to a W211, not a W210 like mine. Is the process the same for both engines?
