The best way to get on the header bolts is:
1)for the bolts that are accessable with s socket, use a 1/4" drive socket(mine was a 1/4" 12-point 3/8ths socket)
2)take a 12 point 3/8ths wrench and grind the sides of it with a sander until it's pretty thin, this shoudl allow you get get on some of the more hard to reach ones.

good luck...

when you reinstall the headers i dont know if you did this before but use some locktite on the bolts when you tighten them down it realy makes the bolts stick into the groves. Down side is that if you dont tighten them enogh this time you will realy be killing your self getting them out next time
