Default header removal/installaion

I'm having trouble getting my old header off. all the bolts are out, the down pipe is disconnected and it's free from the motor. but it seems to be hung up on something and I can't see what it could possibly be. has anyone experience this? please help, thanks..

Unless you missed a bolt, otherwise you should be able to pull it out....not toward the front but away from the engine toward the driver's fender.

So it's stuck on the downpipe? There are 2 nuts holding the exhaust manifold to the downpipe. Did you get those 2? Now you just gotta give it a good whack or two to get it loose.
