help me remoive an AU head at the wreckers

Postby misk » June 19th, 2012, 8:56 pm

so whenever i try to remove an AU head fitted with factory head bolts, they end up stripping, leaving the head stuck on that block.
dunno if its the sockets im using, but i have tried many different brands...
anyway, if you have been abvle to ge AU heads off with no dramas, i would like to pay you $20 (or givfe you 4 tyres, your choice) to rip off an AU XR6 head for me.
i would like this done over the next few weeks, so if anyones keen, please let me know :)

Best hobo thread title of 2012.

The wreckers must think there's some goblin **** curse going on in their yard with all the munted AU donks they come across.

hus i never get a day off during the week, but doesnt mean i cant go on the weekend...
could i still borrow yours?
i could test it out on my broken AU at home and if it works then good, otherwise, DJ, i was more thinking of jollys at dandenonf or ringwood, only cause i know there is one at boith.

hus, when can i come past to grab the socket hus?
and commando, for the record, i've only ever fucked on bolt at the wreckers lol he rest have happened at home :P

Look at your car. Now back to mine. Now back to yours. Now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped buying dodgy cars and bought an ED, yours could be like mine. Look down. Back up. Where are you? ...You're on BoostedFalcon, reading the signature your signature could be like! Anything is possible when your car looks like my car... I'm on a computer.
