  To remove only, impact is best for this.  Using a wrench, it must be 
pushed toward the head and no rocking.  Installing, use a torque 
wrench and again, push toward the head and don't lean the wrench so that 
it all goes into turning motion and no angled motion.  THAT'S what cracks 
the heads, leaning on a wrench/bar/rachet.
