I won't have to pull one head...got the broke GP out !!

I guess the easy side was the best place to start...gives you encouragement when successful to tackle the hard side!! One would think while working on the #8 with very little room to the firewall and you can't get your head in there that it is tuff...till you look over at the #7 with the AC box in the way and you realize that you have plenty of room. Only took about 6 hours of wiggling and pecking on the broke piece of GP and finally got it to move and it was a snap after that.I took the old sleeve and screwed it all the way to the seat and formed a sharp punch from 3/16" round bar just a bit longer than the sleeve and peck it into the broken end of the GP "swelling" it tight into the sleeve and it all back right out.I hope my luck does'nt run out before I get the #7 out but if it does I would rather pull one head than two! I will let you know.
