Finally swapping in SS heater boxes I acquired years ago and I can't budge the existing manifold gaskets. I have read and tried a few options, trying to leverage a pick under and edge and walk it out, no luck., the gasket is very tight against the engine. Trying to lever a screwdriver head against and gasket edge and the head to deform the gasket a touch except that my head's fin started to deform before the gasket! Any other tricks before I give up and just try reusing the gaskets that won't seem to come out?

1/4 in Cold chisel will cut it easy As with so many things on the internet YMMV (Widely) Previously posted, in situ, is exactly what a fairly new cold chisel and 2.5lb small sledge, and heat, got me. Appreciate the tips but until I pull the engine, it likely stays put. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-14731-1708892176.1.jpg) |
