Default help please- engine block coolant line- how to take off?

I took off the right head, no problems, but the left one is stuck on the coolant pipe that hooks up to the block. Really it shouldn't be a problem, but I can't get my exhaust manifold and the egr valve off the left head b/c of rust... So, the only way I can get the head + exhaust manifold + egr off is to remove the coolant pipe, and then it should be no problem BUT I'm not sure how the pipe comes off, and I didn't want to just yank on it. Does anyone know? I looked on my ebahns manual, no luck there. Thanks... this car's really kicking my ***, at every step too...

If it helps anyone in the future, you just pull or push really hard on the coolant line (depending on where you're standing) and it snaps out of the engine block. Just removed the line, and removed the left head... sigh of relief...
