    They are in teh head right? So they are always heated. You shouldn't have any issues.

    PB blaster and a pry bar
    Sooo, you want to break them off?? Just soak em down and use a ratchet and deepwell socket and go to town. Mine came loose no problem. Maybe try and do it when it still has some engine heat left in the manifold.

    redline- what is this "GIBBS" you speak of? Like Joe Gibbs, lol... off to google I go.

    Only reason I go for the pry bar is because my arms are about the size of noodles. So its really like a normal persons strength.
    -BillyBoost you make sense with the fact there already/always heated up anyway heated up so shouldnt be an issue.

    As for this GIBBS stuff I think a google is in order
