Technical HG help!

Hi guys just started doing my HG and I am stuck at the brake servo pipe its rock solid and wont budge, going to try warm it up but I really dont think that will help get it off.

Advise please

Thanks

First bit of knuckle skin removed many thanks taking photos to up load

Very stuck there too

You can;t heat it up as is plastic ...

Use like a screw driver on the servo end and just force it off!

Cheers dude, got the head off now I would say its defo a diy job its really not that hard to rip apart, hit one snag with the exhaust down pipe I thought I would remove it there and snapped one of the bolts in the manifold and the other one chewed its thread up and would not come off so had a hack saw moment on that stud.

Going to strip the head down as soon as my valve spring compressor comes and get on with cleaning it up as much as I can.

so is the HG actually blown then ?

Well after checking I found piston no 4 to be wet with water so I guess it was in there it went.

You sure it didnt pour in from the water ways as you lifted the head off? What does the gasket look like?
