Header pipe

I have a 2008 ultra and I need to tighten the nuts on the exhaust header where it attaches to the cylinder head, do I need a special socket? There isn't very much space and I don't want to strip anything

Thanks

1/2" socket. I use a 1/2" stubby wrench.

Thanks Dawg, I will try the stuby wrench. I am a bit nervous as I don't want to snap anything. The torque is only 120 inch pounds

that would be the same as 10 foot lbs. you may need to loosen the heat shield on rear head to get the inner nut.
