I know a lot of guys have done this but I also see lots of guys with amazing garages with power lifts. Any of you guys every installed headers with just some jacks and jack stands? Is it possible to get the leaverage to loosen the bolts? What kind of jacks did you use? Did you need a power tool to loosen the bolts or were you able to muscle it with hand tools? I've done minor car maitenance and repairs and love being in the garage putting on parts myself even if it takes 3 times as long, it's just much more satisfying and want to know if this is a project I could pull off myself. Thanks for the help

Yes, torque at 18lbs and hand-thread them first before using an air ratchet if you have access to one.
