Subject:Re: pry bars - was off with her heads

I just use some chisels that I ground to the right width on a bench
grinder. The chisel works as a wedge between the head and the tabs on
the cyls. I tap it in with a hammer. You do need to closely watch what
you are doing so that the chisel doesn't damage the head surface.
