I had my Hot Shot Header installed by a shop I regret going to a few years ago and they snapped the first stud off closest to the front of the car flush with nothing to grab on to remove it! and I never saw how they installed it......Anyways there has always been a tiny leak and I feel like fixing it, but when trying to remove the Header the socket will fit on the nut fine but I noticed one the the tubes is kind of in the way to get a clear path to put a regular extension on it. Would I need to use a woble extension on it?...(I've never had one) I have to be able to torque it so I cant see using a wrench for that. Thanks for any ones past experience with this.

Use a wrench. Most of the headers and manifolds for the DE require use of a wrench on at least half the nuts since there's limited access.
