Hi guys.. I've got a good one.. I'm in the process of removing the heads on a 94 GL1500, all the bolts came out easily, but the heads seem to be glued onto the block. It's original and the heads have never been off since installation at the factory. 31,000 miles on the odometer. I don't want to drive a screwdriver in as a wedge, so I'm looking for some suggestion on how to free them up to remove them...
I tried to pop them off (like I usually do) with a soft headed mallet, also gently prying with a rounded screwdriver against the side of the block and they just won't move. Aluminum distorts easily and of course, I don't want to damage either the heads or the block... :baffled:
Any of you had this problem? Anybody have a resolution? Thanks.. Renegade
