[DeTomaso] ideas as to removing aluminum head

[Will Kooiman]

Thanks.  I needed a laugh.

I had to double-nut mine to get them off.  The little hex wasn't deep enough for an allen wrench to turn the stud.  Btw, I never used sealant on the studs, and never had an issue with coolant weeping or anything weird like that.  But maybe a previous owner did that to you - so that's why it's so hard to get them off.

Good luck.

       are frozen. Going to try the air trick tomorrow. I can hook up the air
       compressor to a fitting in the spark plug hole.

       If you don't hear from me, I am dead on my garage floor.

       Thanks for all the ideas
