Default Appraching Headers

So I have this header leak. I've put it off for a bit and its gotten louder to the point that it's eating at me. My new gm mls gaskets(cometic) came in today. I do stuff here and there but how do I approach this?
I gave it a shot earlier and was baffled. Couldn't even take a bolt out.

What do you mean how do you approach it? Take out things that are making the bolts hard to access, label it if you need to, remove bolts, replace gaskets, bolt up and replace things, profit.

Get the plug wires out of the way, put the wrench/socket on the bolt and turn counter clockwise until it comes out.
