FWIW: I've heard of freezing the prechamber with dry ice which supposedly
breaks the "corrosion seal". I've also heard of freezing both the
prechamber and the end of the puller then quickly using the slide hammer. I
would be leery of freezing the slide hammer since steel can get brittle at
low temperatures. Some supermarkets have dry ice for sale; Winn-Dixie in
the South, for example.

What is different from the 616 and the 603 is you have a steel
prechamber in an aluminum head under large temperature and humidity
differences. In other words, dissimilar metal corrosion. On the other
hand, my prechamber came out of my SDL very quickly.

Got the five pound slide hammer. OK, will persevere in wailing on it, but
now with more confidence! My friend did a 616 prechamber once and it came
out very easily, so we figured something was wrong. Will give a victory
update, hopefully.
