Default Header cover won't come off

Does anyone know how to take the header cover off? I can get all the bolts off but there is still one threaded bolt on the top that the nut screws on that won't come off.

Beat it off with a rubber mallet.

you dont need to remove the threaded bolts that a nut screws onto. Your header gets extremely hot and with the metal gasket it is supposed to create a dang good seal. You dont want exhaust leaks. Just put a little back into it, get a friend bigger than you, or use a rubber mallet. Just tap on it dont beat it though. It will come off. Just try a lil.
