They can be reused. Stockers stretch and shouldn't be reused too often, if at all.

The timing belt should be off and the cam sensor disconnected.

If it's just the head, then it's easy to pull off. If you still have the manifold/TB/Rail/etc. attached to it, then you might need some help. But it also depends on how strong you are.
