Twist the hell out of it. Just break the tab, dont matter if your not gonna be using it.

Other than that. Best way ive found to save the neck is to take the valve cover off and pry back the lock-tab with a small pick. Then twist it out.

you could always install a set of LT headers and accidently break it off in the process. Ask me how i found out that method

Your my kind of mechanic
I know you took at least on pic, how about some more after you get some sleep. I'd like to see how that front shaft cleared the x-over.

I actually did eyeball it with the intentions of it to possibly clear just in case I ended up with a 4wd or SSS and put it on.

Yeah, yeah, it's my calibrated eye. I don't have mock-up nuthin. It's not easy being this good
