Slow down on the disassembly or you’ll have a bunch of broken bolts. If you have a salty it will be a very painstaking disassembly. Over on our website there is a you tube video on removal take a look and Remember go slow.

I used every trick I learned in 10 years of being a mechanic (worked at Eglin AFB where a good amount of our stuff worked on the beaches.) Absolutely none of them worked. The closest they got to working was one bolt got loose enough in the body of the head that it snapped down in the block. At least the rest snapped at the head of the bolt so I essentially have a bunch of studs.

The shank just rusted to the body of the head on each of them.
