DIY tips for installing extractors yourself??

[johnowenmc]

Sorry to bring up an old thread but im about to take the factory headers off and fit some factory ones off an R8. I have noticed the dipstick is also between the header and motor so I cant just push it aside. Did you just have to remove the dipstick and re-install it? Also would you replace the gaskets to?

Can someone point me in the right direction for doing this on an Alloytec SV6
I know the alternator likely needs moving out the way to get to the front bolts.

Steering column likely too. But other than that I'm not 100% sure if the steps are the same.
