Cylinder head bolt removal.

[Dylan kingswood]

If you can’t remove head bolts and after a member suggests that you should use a breaker bar not a torque wrench and you still need to ask a forum how then I’m lost and you probably shouldn’t be trying to remove heads by yourself

How much more help do you want? Turn the bolt until it loosens.

This. You asked for help, you got it and some people had a laugh. This is what this friendly forum is about - mates helping and taking the piss out of each other. No time for being precious and getting butt hurt

Move along!

Got the head bolts undone yet??

Lefty loosey, Righty tighty.

Oh, and editing the header wont make this thread go away

Take the well described advise about removal or move along, Simples.

 

[Immortality]

Nope, editing stuff just makes you look silly but we can fix that

Back to the question, tried penetrating oil (or similar light oil) and let it soak under the bolt heads as well as down threads for a while? Standard method in mining industry.

This is what l use for tightening, loosening wheel nuts. I add the extension bar to the other piece.
I use the pipe over the other piece (breaker bar?) for more tighter stuff

Note the Hexagonal socket with rounded corners which will greatly reduce the risk of rounding off the bolt head.
Don't use the 12 point sockets for this job.

Good point Fu - can I double like this?

Unless they're 12 point high torque fasteners.
