How can I reach these 993 header nuts (on 964 case)
 

Im trying to remove my 993 headers to replace them with a set I purchased from William Knight. The hole on the 993 header to reach the barrel nut does not line up with the stud and is completely behind the header and I have no idea how to reach it or how my mechanic installed it. I cant even see the nut so there may not be one there. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Here are pics for reference:

The nuts seem to be copper which is good news. Otherwise, you may have the whole rusted nut/stud issues. I would use a ratchet with various extensions and a swivel joint.

If you can't reach it with the combo mentioned above, it is special wrench time! Take a piece of stiff wire and bend it in the general direction(s) of what you would need to reach the nut and make a least (hopefully) 1/4 turns. Go buy a cheap box end wrench in the size you need. Clamp it in a vise an throw some heat and a hammer to it to match the wire. Been there, done that on several occasions with my build.

Good luck!

JSA thank you for the idea I did exactly what you suggested with my torch, a vise and a large hammer and fabricated a wrench that would fit. Quarter turns at most finally got the last nut off! Thank you very much!
