Default Pulling heads off my Suburban 5.3- info on removal?

Trying to remove my 706 Heads from my pulled Suburban 5.3.

How do I pull the (4)15mm bolts that reside under the rocker rail?

As the bolt backs out, my socket becomes wedged underneath the rocker rail.



Also, What tools do I need to pull the rockers and springs?

Rockers come right off u dont need to remove the springs. If you do end up removing springs you will need a spring compressor.
