removing AEB cylinder head, how the hell?!
I'm trying to pull the cylinder head from a 97 1.8T. I've removed all 10 cylinder head bolts along with the belts and all hoses but the thing just won't budge. I've been banging a huge screwdriver into the gasket for 10 minutes but it's simply not splitting the head from the block. Am I missing something?

Don't hammer between the block and the head
If you need to hammer at all, tap along the sides of the head.
Are you sure its only Ten Bolts - Are there any brackets the span the head and the block?

when i did mine it came right apart.
did you remove the bracket on the intake? i dont think it would hold the head in palce but it could. did you remove the intake?
