Hello, I'm pulling the head to troubleshoot engine problems on this tractor. Following the I&T book it appears I have done everything necessary to prepare the head for removal. I have removed all the necessary lines, removed all the head nuts, etc. I tried to pick it with an engine crane and a sling but it seems to be stuck pretty well and I didn't want to put too much force on it until I consulted the experts for advice. This is my first time doing any major work on a diesel engine so I'm unsure what exactly I should be expecting. Advice? Thanks, Erik |

a stud remover or 2 nuts jamed together. If you dont have the puller dont mess with them mainly due to you will have to torque them back into place. ------------- 160 CA 920diesel 5020 HD-3 |

dont pull the studs, you just need to break the gasket loose. creative use with a prybar will release it. good luck.

I always use a short (12") or so length of 2X4 and a hammer to break loose heads that are stuck. Use it in several places around the head and it will free it up . HTH God Bless. ------------- When you find yourself in a hole,PUT DOWN THE SHOVEL!!! |

| Remove the injectors from the head before removing if it is a direct injection style. |

Thanks everyone for the advice. I'll grab a small prybar and give it a go. Thanks, Erik |
