Removing the cooling fittings on the CR500 cylinder head
Ok, I know a bunch of you have removed the two straight fittings out of the CR500 head. Installing elbows is necessary on some conversions for gas tank clearance.
My question: How the hell did you get those two straight fittings out?
Are they threaded in? I got one to turn a few degrees with a socket and rachet, but it was a real bitch. Then socket slipped and effed up the hex head on the fitting.
Anyone have a picture of one removed?

the tread has sealer, heat the head, not the fitting til it burns out, then they'll come.
they're junk, no fitting youll find is the same thread tho either.
