You know what, I asked the same question not in those exact words of course, and the I got was take the old ones off and put the new ones on.

Anyway, I did mine with the help of a friend and it took jacking the motor and all kind of B.S. I hope you find what you are looking for, GOOD LUCK!!!

Step 1 Disconnect the (–) negative battery terminal, remove intake hose and air filter box, and remove strut tower brace
(if applicable).
Step 2 Lift vehicle as high as possible with jack and support with stands.
Step 3 Unplug all oxygen sensors (removal from H-pipe is not necessary).
Step 4 Unbolt H-pipe from manifolds and catback system and remove.
Step 5 Remove motor mount to K member nuts.
Step 6 Carefully jack up engine (we recommend using a solid block of wood to place under the engine) until mounts rise
out of K member. Safely support in this position.

thanks SMS, you da man.

mike, i ran into that problem with the xpipe and cross threading that nut on the stud so i drove (partially open header) to mieneke up in freehold, those idiots wanted 150$ to just remove the nut and put a new stud in. i told them to get my car off the damn lift and that i didnt want them touching it. so i came home and bought some new Ford Racing Shorty headers off a member on here for 175$. now i just have to get that nut off but now that im going to be jacking the motor up and stuff ill have alot more room to get it off, ill prob torch it off or something lol.
