&#@%!

Well, it was a rough night in the garage.  I broke a socket, cut my knuckles, and the new tools I bought to help remove the exhaust header bolts proved to be ineffective.  In the end, I was only able to remove one additional bolt after ~10 days of soaking them in penetrating oil.  That was accomplished with a Stillson pipe wrench after removing additional primary header pipe material with the saws-all.  I'm thinking that the engine might need to come out at this point...

Cool tool, didn't work.

 Broken socket with blood stain in the background.
 Ouch!
 Success.
