'77 CB750F intake port nipple

alolesen
Has anyone ever tried to remove one of the intake port nipples on a CB750 head. I know that they are threaded in and secured with some sort of sealant. I assume that a bit of heat, carefully applied, should do the trick but I wonder if anyone has anything to add.

Do you have a pic of the part you are talking about?

Here's a picture that shows where the broken one is, that I need to remove, and the 3 other ones can be seen as well.

Ok now I do not have a head in front of me right now but you should be able to heat the head and then use a socket to get it out but the threads usually bugger up. Otherwise if you have the pieces, welding it might be better.
