You need to boil it until all meat and fat comes easily off, then you want to remove the water by straining through a mosquito mesh ,in case the teeth are loose you will not loose any, then you use a degreaser and wash the skull thouroughly, make sure there is no meat or fat still attached to the bone, set the skull up hide where the sun will hit it and pout or brush it heavely with 40% hydrogen peroxide,I do it every day for 3 to 4 days.
And then glue any loose teeth or tusksback in place, and you have a bleached skull pic a board and screw the skull to it.

I set it up high in top of a shed to keep any animal from dragging it away and also where there is no shade from the sun,LOL
It is also good to set the water to a boil before you put the skull in it, too much boiling can ruin it.

I buried the head in the ground for a couple of months, pulled it up and it was almost clean. Boiled it for like 30 minutes and it looks great. Easy, but you wont have it immediatly.
