You need to soak the bolt with PB Blaster the day before and be very careful not to break one off. I pulled my head with the manifold attached and then took it off. When I installed the head I put the manifold on after the head was in.

Would they need replacing, or just resurfacing? __________________ 2001 F-350 Crew Cab XLT PSD 4x4, Long Bed, 6-speed, 3.73, Manual Transfer, Power TTT Mirrors, 122k miles. 1989 Toyota 4x4 xtracab SR5 V6, Beat to heck with 200k+ miles and still running strong.
