    Hi guys,

    Anyone got any idea how to get the head out a grenadier 2 for head soaking? I’ve had a look but it can’t just be 1 tiny screw holding this in place.

    If anyone has got any tips before I take it out across the weekend that will be great.

    Cheers,

    Jamie.

    Call an engineer, could be an expensive soak.

    Good luck

    I have no idea of any engineers from around Glasgow, I doubt I would make any mistakes, and if I do, it will cost me the guts of a new head… I’m willing to deal with that, you’ll never learn if you don’t try.

    If anyone has an engineers number around the Glasgow area that would be great, or if anyone else has any tips on how to take the head out that would be brilliant too.

    Cheers again guys

    best wait till the body has been dead for a while and Rigamortice has set in.
    then using a small toothed saw, begin cutting into the firm flesh.

    Hi
    3 screws hold the head in, however soaking the head whilst out is a gamble as the slightest fluid on the circuitry will blow the head & maybe the head board (£1200) plus your new head. Clamp the pump hose & top up the capping station, wind the heads back up & leave over night. There is also a alignment sequence to set them back up when refitting
