The heads can become very well stuck with time, try gently knocking around
the head with a hide or rubber mallet to try and wake it, there may also be
some dowels in there, I don't recall so don't flame me.  But as far as I can
remember you can slide the head around on the block, it is also extremely
heavy so it may have you fooled.....

I was just thinking, from the triumph list there has numerous times been
suggested to feed rope into a cylinder then turn the crank to compress the
rope against the head to pop it off. Would this work in this case or do I
risk the damaging the head?

Thanks

Hi all,

I picked up a cobalt drill bit that was the same size as the bolt shank.
Used a puny 7.2 volt cordless drill and the head of the bolt came off in
less than 5 minutes of work.

Tried then to pry the head off and it will not come off. Is there something
I am missing?

Thanks for all of the advice so far
