In the process of stripping my top end. Heads off but the barrels are stuck. Its a 1979 cb900, I've had to hacksaw the bolt at the bottom of the barrels (head was rounded off) and no amount of persuasion is getting them to break their seal. Any suggestions no matter how brutal will be welcome. The barrels are scrap ( I have a brand new set and pistons to go on so damage to the old ones doesn't matter - already tried a lump hammer )

Nice one, just cut round where the bolt was and off they came.

Glad you got it fixed.

Sometimes turning the engine over a few times will shift them.
