- The head should come off after removing the two screws. Did you
- unsolder the little wires?
-
- They do make little pullers like gear pullers. If there are
- threaded holes in the top of the head cylinder, you might get a
- decent grip by threading a screw into these holes.
-
- Anyway, before you spend your money . . . if the heads work with
- high tension - the heads may be ok. The brake bands wear
- out, too. Did you start with a problem of not being able to view
- the pix in fast scan? That's a brake band symptom.
