Well I blew a Gasket not that long ago and ive been slowly taking everything apart. I have all the bolts off the pass Head. But my long tube header is in the way even if i try and pull it away it wont allow me to pull the head off. Anyone have an idea. Im clueless at the moment and its driving me nuts

have you tried to loosen header at the collector flange to see if header could be moved out of the way

Yup, that helped a lot. Much less stressful.
