had to loosen the first 2 primaries. then i could get a socket on the top bolt 
all in all not to bad. took me 3 hours total but could do it again under an hour (w/airtools)
had to use a shovel for leverage to move the sway bar :P

Just a suggestion to anyone else who might be installing headers. Header install is the perfect time to change your old mounts. With the factory manifolds out of the way, the new mounts go in like butter.
