Default Header removal

Bought an 08 base with American Racing 1 7/8 headers and off road mid pipes and NPP. All slip joints. The builder did the install with heads off while doing procharger, head and clutch work. Header flanged are rusty and am wanting to pull the headers and get them coated. Forum search looks like the headers come out easily from below. How do I get the rest apart enough to get headers separated from mid pipes?
