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

how how do you have the car?
the front of the car is jacked up about a foot ..... the header will only move so far i can barley get on the head bolt but not enought to get it off with out rounding the top of it.....
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.
