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

 

I definitely broke it trying to take it off. That made it really easy to get off

 

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.

 

LOL I was like...twist....twist....twist...not working....bend....SNAP! Sweet!!

It almost looks like you meant for it to clear, it's that close and that exact. Good job!

I'll take some good pics either tonight or tomorrow afternoon. The one in my sig is from my camera phone

 

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

 

It's damn tough being perfect, I know how you feel

 

PEOPLE THAT THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING, ANNOYS THOSE OF US THAT DO....



I ACTUALLY JUST READ THAT OFF MY SHIRT

 

Careful! We don't want your head to explode.

 

Oh yeah. I know exactly how you feel.
