    How do you remove head bolts with out braking them?

    Patient is a 1996 Suzuki DT150S Serial number 15002-651116

    Compression is even across all six cylinders with reading ranging from 102 to 105 psi.

    It was suggested here at BBC to post in Mercury motors area.

    I need to pull a head to remove a couple of broken bolts.

    What is the best best way to remove head bolts with out braking them?

    Guys on a machist forum suggested using impact gun on low settings to shock the bolts on a cold engine.

    In addition to using a low-setting on an impact wrench, you may be able to put a blunt/round punch on the head of the bolt and give it a couple good solid strikes with a large/heavy hammer to help break the corrosive bond in the threads.

    I do not envy you of this project.
