Default Header removal help!

I got all of the 12mm bolts off where the header connects and the two 14mm bolts located at the lower bracket. This thing wont budge. I tried spraying some lubricant and no luck. Any suggestions? Is it me or does everyone have this problem?

if it is there is a 14mm bolt in the front of the motor holding the header near the place where it splits into 2 pieces.

I bet that's your problem. I forgot about that first time I tried pulling the header.

i think willard is right. now i noticed the hidden bolt where it splits from 4 to 2. There was no mention of that bolt in both how to articles found at team-integra.net or c-speedracing.com....Thanks everyone

I never had to take the header apart to get it out. just take out the bolts coming from the head, the ones connected to exhaust, and the bracket bolts and it should just drop out at a funny angle.
