That little attacment that is above the oil filter can be taken off. it has two 10mm bolts and some oil wil come out. Maybe a 1/4 quart. I had to take that off plus the steering shaft, and notch the k member to get my Hookers in.

talking about both headers? Are you sure u have it jacked up high enough?
Can you see what its getting hung up on? I had to take my drivers side one in and out a few times and I forgot to take the oil diverter off once and it was damn near impossible to get out.

I don't really think theres a better deal then sending them in to get coated. I read on another thread that guys were trying anything and it wasnt working. I know that when you do send them in, they will clean them up nicely (get rid of rust etc), coat, and ship back. IMO, no reason not to.
