So, I was able to remove the last screw. Below the screw, I have a square nut which I hold with a screw driver to avoid it to move.
A little bit rusty but I will clean them and they will be like new.

Let’s hope I will be able to do it again when I will be ready to put the cross brace back.
A few pictures, but sorry for the bad quality, I guess my camera is a little bit tired

Here are some pictures of my cross brace, this way, you will understand why I needed to remove it to repair it properly.

Before replacing the cross brass, I wanted to change the gas line, but it's one week that soaked in WD40 unsuccessful, nothing moves :evil:

Interesting to see that those headers only use two exhaust studs, just out of curiosity where did that come from?

You mean the exhaust pipes?
If so, it was hand made by a French company back to 1996 because it was unavailable at this time.
