The 4 dimensional surgery theorem is known to be equivalent to the existence of a family of canonical 4-manifolds with free fundamental group. This paper shows that by passing to a double cover these canonical problems can be solved. This reformulates the surgery conjecture in terms of existence of free involutions on a class of 4-manifolds.
