header headaches
#1
Trying to remove the headers on my 500 EFIs to pressure test and the last two bolts on the starboard side of each engine wont budge ,already ruined 1 socket, any tips ? seems like the 2nd bolt in from rear is almost impossible to get a socket on properly . Anybody dealt with this before ? What Worked ? Thanks in advance Rich

try tapping on the head of the bolt with a hammer with out malling it up,,then use a black impact socket,try tightening it first then loosen it..

Did you try anything like Kroil penetrating oil? I have been amazed how well Kroil works.
