Subject:      Removing head nut
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Ok, I went to reseal one head that had a leaky head nut that I
just could not seem to seal with the head on. I was in a big
hurry and I believe I got a bunch of black VW sealant in the
head nut. Anyway, I had twisted the thing on by hand for a
couple revolutions and then pulled out the rachet to get it
down to the head. Well, the nut stopped turning a couple
millimeters from the head (ugh!) and would not come off. I
let it sit for a long time and went out to try and pull the
nut off again but the thing will not budge (I think I am
bending the stud now). So I have a couple questions:


1) Has this ever happened to anyone else?!


2) How do the studs come out? Are they replacable with
the case bolted together?


TIA!
