Engine head removal 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Samuel on  Mon Mar 14 15:29 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Decided to replace blown head gasket on my 1986 740T.
All went well, except I can't loosen the 14mm head bolts.
I'm using 3/8 socket set, and the darn bolts won't budge.
What's the secret to this ?
They are supposed to be tightened to approx. 45 lbs.
They feel mora like 150 ?!
Should I try 1/2 inch socket set ?
I already broke 2 14 mm 3/8 sockets. I'm afraid to continue.
Guy at SEARS knows me. I don't know if there is a limit on
the number of free Craftsman replacement sets...
