I have a 230 flathead 6, and I'm attempting to remove the manifolds. I've got everything loosened up, except for the two "center screws" (from the shop manual) through the exhaust manifold. These are the two bolts with 1/2" heads that are in wells that can be reached between the intake and exhaust manifolds. I've successfully managed to round the heads, despite repeated soakings with WD-40. Is there any kind of "grabber" socket that will remove these guys? At this point, I wouldn't object to even twisting the heads off. In fact, what about drilling the heads off? Any other advice? adTHANKSvance, Dan '55 Savoy |
