Re: How to remove heads from a 350
Hi and welcome from South TX.
I used a 1/2" drive 5/8 impact socket, it's stronger than a normal socket, a short extension and a looong pull handle. I think I even had to use a cheater pipe to break 'em loose. Lube all that up with a big can of elbow grease and your in business! ![]() |

Well, a 1/2 or 3/4 breaker bar with a long piece of pipe will most likely do it. Might try an impact wrench too.....

1/2" imact gun with the 5/8" impact socket, if that doesn't break em loose, use a long handle 1/2" ratchet with a pipe extension. worst thing that'll happen is a broken bolt, or the socket will slip off the head and your knuckles will hit the rockers or something.

Re: How to remove heads from a 350
Wow... I've never needed tools that HD for a simple head job. I normally use a 3/8 breaker bar, and if need be, I'll grab the 1/2 inch. If I'm actually with my tools at work, I use my 3/8 impact.
