hpipe to header nut question

[96dkgreengt]

so im trying to change my hpipe to a mac prochamber but im having alittle trouble getting the nut that sits above the passanger side o2 sensor on the header side..from what i have done is take the o2 sensor out and i tried to use a swivel socket to get to it but i broke my swivel recently. is there another way to get to that nut that is easier? i have got it off once before with my swivel just cant get it off again before my swivel broke.. whats the easiest way to get it off is my question?

I dont remember the combination of swivel/u joint and wobble extentions I used but you will need that socket from when I did mine a few years ago. Taking mine off was easy....we dropped it down with the motor

damn. that doesnt help lol.. i guess ill just drop my motor to make it easier.. just kidding.. but basically no matter what i need to get myself a new swivel/u joint socket :/

lomg extension, universal swivel and deep well socket. or multi angle fishing a wrench in there. its tight in there but it shall be done. i highly recommend a couple squirts of pb blaster. also, napa sells new Ford manifold studs for 9.99

update: i got the nut off with the swivel, extension and a heavy duty airgun, came off within a few seconds.. new prochamber is installed just gotta fix the little exhaust leak i have at where it connects to the (axle back? i believe)exhaust pieces
