I have all 10 bolts out, but I can't budge the head. Tapped it with a maul, but wasn't sure how much force I could/should use.
 
Put 2 bolts loosely in each head to keep them from jumping on the floor.---Wires on the plugs is a good idea if you don't want to jumper the solenoid.
 
Somebody used sealer on the gaskets.----They are now glued on I think.-----Do what you have to do to get them off.----I would have thought that with 100 PSI they would have popped loose.
 
Okay I think I'm going to have to ruin the head to get it off. Which years and models will fit for replacement? Thanks for the help.
 
Not sure if this will solve it, but get a heat gun and use the high setting to get the head as hot as you can. Then use a dead blow hammer to knock around all sides of the head to get it loose.
 
Okay. Got it. I just wasn't being forceful enough. Now to get those water deflectors changed!. Thanks for the advice and encouragement
