frozen screws
#1
the stator cover on my XL 350 is held on by 3 screws. one came out other 2 are frozen
this bike is an orphen that came to me form Denver. it has been sitting from mid 80s
the heads are a bit messed up so i tapped them down sprayed penetrant and let them sit then used JIS hand inpact driver, no luck. loooking at the one that came out if i dril the head it will not leave me but 2 threds to grab and not wanting to damage the magnisum cover i needed a better plane.
i took a small drill bit drilled a hole clean thru then used a inslin syringe to squirt penetrent down the hole let it sit for 2 days smacked them and out they came
