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

Clap that is so great i wish i could watch the movie, VERY original and you can even use the same screws again.

Thanks very much for posting this unique success story Rich, much appreciated and the secret only revealed in the last sentence, well done on that one too.
