I bought a jetta with a broken timing belt and have been slowly picking at it, the head is almost ready to come off.
I read most of the instructions on the FAQ on pulling a head, it brought up one question and I need some advise.
The FAQ said something about pulling the cam first, is this necessary or should I just pull all the head bolts and lift it off?
Would it be easier to pull the turbo before or after pulling the head? I've disconnected all the oil lines and will get the support bracket before pulling it, any advice?
Any other general advice on pulling it?
here is what 184,000 miles on a timing belt looks like:
