take off that little bolt right next to your oil filter. it will pull this lip off so you can slide the header right out. sorry i dont know exactly what it is but you must haave taken it off to install them as well. what heads and cam r u going with

To get them out, you are also going to have to unbolt the steering linkage. Atleast that's what I had to do with my Hookers. Also, be sure the steering wheel is locked and that you do not move it while the linkage is off. It's a PITA to realign back up.
