Well I'm ripping my motor apart to prepare it to get worked on and fixed.
We were gonna take the head off but we got like5 bolts off then we got stuck on one..
It broke 2 sockets, a 15mm and a deep socket
it was the only bolt we had trouble with 2...
any ideas how to remove it? we plan on getting impact sockets but not for a while
anyway i can loosen the bolt? lol
or is risking breaking more sockets the only way?

 

Tighten the other head bolts back up. That'll reduce the tension on the one you can't get. Maybe that'll work??

They should be 14mm shouldn't they?

 

haha yea they are my bad sorry
But tightening the other ones back up wouldn't work, cuz we tried each headbolt from the start and that one and a few others we knew were gonna be a problem

Then loosen one at a time slowly..but keep rotating from bolt to bolt

exactly... do it in the right order so you dont warp the head and also only turn about 1/3 for each bolt in the same order every time... then you will have no problem... and good head...i mean A good head

 

Use impact sockets as well they are stronger and are less likely to break. I have never broken any of the impact socket I have.
