Default How to remove heads?

Anyone have a link or a write up that will tell me how to remove the heads? My head gaskets went bad and I need to know how to get them out. I have all the bolts removed but I'm hung up trying to decide if the timing cover has to come off and how to do that if it's neccessary. Thanks

Yes the timing cover has to come off. Remove the bolts for the power steering pum that go into it, remove crank pulley, remove all bolts around the timing cover and the 3 oil pan bolts that go into the bottom of the timing cover.

you also need a pulley puller for the harmonic balancer, and the water pumppulley comes off with a hammer. also write down where each of the bolts go to the front cover because there are like 4 different types
