Use the longest breaker bar you can find and a six point good quality socket. Also use the shortest extension you can get away with.
Use a steady pull. Should break loose. Then is assuming you have all the accesory stuff off, ie intake,rocker arms,pushrods,and cover,etc.

I fyou don't have a breaker bar you can use a jack handle on the end of a socket, Thats what I end up doing most of the time.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
