Anyone have any luck in removing tight mudguard stay studs and the pinch bolt stud from fork sliders?
Or is it not worth the risk of damage to the slider threads?
Were these studs cad plated or natural steel from the factory?
I am restoring a bike which has been sitting under a tarp outside for probably 20 years.
With the head off.
Much of the steel in aluminum is frozen tight: Spark plugs frozen in head, oil feed bolt, etc.
I would assume the 3 studs in the head are also frozen solid on this bike.
