    M42 Head Bolts

    I'm using a breaker bar, 3/8" E12 socket, and one extension. I can't gain access with this combo to 6 of the head bolts. The cams are in, and I do not have the proper tools to remove them. I couldn't find a 1/4" E12 either.

    A 10mm grabs with no play, but this idea seems shady to me. Can anyone clue me in onto what to do?
    The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

      If it's that hard to get them off, how are you going to get a torque wrench in there to put them back in?
