Stupidity isn't dead yet, a cautionary tale.

When attempting to remove the cylinder head from my Super Dexta I found it wouldn't budge, I left it for week to relax, but still it wouldn't move, then I took to gentle tapping with a rubber mallet, then upward tapping with a big screwdriver acting as a chisel under the overhangs. Still it wouldn't budge.
Then I googled it, the computer said that it's 99% sure that one nut had been left somewhere, so back the tractor and I carefully checked that there wasn't a single nut left holding it down, then - it hit me. There wasn't 1 nut but 6!
I hadn't twigged that the injector studs were also head studs, what a plonker
I quickly removed these nuts and then the head lifted straight off, fortunately I don't seem to have done any damage.

Regards
