        The head should come off after removing the two screws. Did you
        unsolder the little wires?

        They do make little pullers like gear pullers. If there are
        threaded holes in the top of the head cylinder, you might get a
        decent grip by threading a screw into these holes.

        Anyway, before you spend your money . . . if the heads work with
        high tension - the heads may be ok. The brake bands wear
        out, too. Did you start with a problem of not being able to view
        the pix in fast scan?  That's a brake band symptom.
