Re: tips on replacing header gaskets
If they break then they were gonna break anyways . If they are six point then use a six point wrench.

Re: tips on replacing header gaskets
Motor warm helps (imo). I also take a punch, extension, whatever and "crack" the head of the bolt with a hammer. The shock seems to help.
Just make sure you hit it square. (The pin to the bolt, not the hand, fingers)
