The title pretty much says it all. I'm halfway through replacing my headgasket and bolt # 6 will not break loose. We tried an impact wrench and now we just snapped off the 10mm hex bit. I'm really worried the bolt is going to snap help would be great.
bhg job. head bolt won't break loose. please help.
- Thread starter hey...it runs

I find that impact tools don't do as well in head bolt applications. I suggest a very long ratchet, or a smaller ratchet and a piece of pipe (cheater bar)
It seems that they don't. And we got it. It took a 2 ft. Breaker bar and a broken hex bit, but it miraculously came out without snapping. Thank God. Well, hopefully with the ARP bolts I'm getting ill never have to worry. From what I hear should never have to worry about a bhg again if I stay under 250 horse. Thanks for the help!
