On overhead cam (OHC) engines, the camshaft must be removed before disassembling the cylinder head.
On overhead valve engines, removing the lifters is part of removing the cylinder head:
Remove the valve cover(s).
Disassemble the rocker arm components.
The valve lifters can be lifted out of their bores.
