help removing header

Any tips on removing a header that doesnt want to come off?
I got the 4 nuts/bolts off with minimal effort (thanks to some pb blaster). But now the header won't budge. Tried banging on it and spraying some more pb blaster. Any other tips?

Hit it with a dead blow hammer a few times to break the seal. Squirt a bit of penetrating oil between the studs and flange.
