whats the best way to pull the back head bolt??? well im pulling my head to put new 5.3L 2.5 prc on and am just about to the back head bolts by the exhaust and was wondering what going to be the easiest way to get thoes out since they are tight as hell and theres not much room to get anything in there. any input will help for tomarrow disassemby.

well, i just finished 99% of my ls6 head swap. getting to the bottom row of bolts is the hugest bitch. well no mater what you need to unbolt the headers from the head. but what i did also was disconnect the y pipe from the i pipe since i couldnt remove the headers from the Y. i jacked the car about about a foot and let the headers fall down as far as they could. i had too fiddle the headers around somewhat to make all the bolts accessible. i had to remove the steerling linkage on the DS for more clearance as well.
the easiest way is to remove the headers from the car all together. it shouldnt be that hard. only reason i couldnt remove mine was because the headers were 'crushed' onto the y pipe at the exhaust clamps
