It's been a few hours since your post, so hopefully you got it by now. This isn't much, but here's a site I found that walks you through the install, and this guy mentions disassembling the steerling linkage but he gets it in anyway.

Mine didnt want to go in either, until I got mad. It fits when you get a guy to try and pull the engine to the pass side and someone pushing and yanking on the header. Only prob was that I scratched my valve cover, it also makes it easier pulling all the plastic spark plug wire holders off.

Welp i must say i have ran into every kind of problem imaginable, The hotshot headers had asbestos heat wrap on them so we took that off and it slid right in. Bolting it on and getting rid of some of the EGR **** was really annoying. i plugged up that crap that goes into your MAF adapter and recirulates.A vacuum line was open and pulling in unmetered air so my car ran like ****, so we plugged it up, and my engine stuttering, cutting out and running wierd as hell, fixed perfectly, It runs great, i just have a oil leak i cant find somewhere behind the valve cover, and the catalytic converter to down pipe gasket is fuxed and leaking. Also the muffler mount isnt on and i cant line it up becuase it try to pull on it and it wont go over. so its clanking all over place.
