Default Passenger side Header?

Taking the pacesetters off. Is there a trick to getting the passenger side header out? The drivers side just kinda slipped out with after a little maneuvering but the passenger side just wedges and I forgot how we put them in...I think from the top.
Header experts chime in!
Truck is an 04 4x4 Silverado.

Thanks guys,
Steve

I'll take them out but as far as I can tell they are not a problem as of yet. Are you taking them out from the top. If so, my problem is I can't get the header far enough forward so the collector clears...

I put mine in from the bottom, removed them from the bottom when I went to SW's headers.. But I know for a fact that they were a royal PITA with the plugs in, it doesn't allow the header flange to pull strait down, then out with them in there. Its worth a shot, i know it made the diff for me.

I just jack the front end up high and wiggle it out from the bottom. Takes a few minutes but usually comes out with a few pulls.

Out from the bottom? Really? So pull the plugs and out from the bottom? That's the game plan for the morning.

Yes that's the easiest way.
