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.

 

that's what I thought too. I doubled checked all the bolts were out. and still no luck. I have no clue what's goin on..

 

A gremlin is hiding in there and holding on..

 

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.
