Oh, I do a little here and there.
Yea so the Civic's been sitting for almost a month now in my drive way needing a headgasket change. Everything's disconnected and removed but me and my brother are having a hell of a hard time getting those head bolts out.
We've loosened the 4 outer corner bolts, but the 6 in the middle seem just about impossible to take out! We have no access to impact wrenches or any of that, just good old standard ratchets and extensions, and we both work out so we're not exactly that weak but these bolts seem impossible to remove, just how much are they torqued??!
Really what I wanted to ask is is there any sort of trick to taking them out without air tools or something? We've tried hammering but nothing seems to budge these bolts and it really makes things harder when you can't pull with both hands because the extension makes it wobble and slip off.
Thanks for any replies..I need to get this thing running right so I can dump it on someone else's hands and look for a better car like a Honda in better shape or a 240sx, eclipse turbo, 300zx, etc.
