soaking in a bath of Wintergreen oil and solvent.

Good stuff!

Good advice, but I do not have access to any welding equipment. I do have a hot air gun though, so I will use that to warm it up. Neither do I, I have to ask a mate when it comes to welding! I did have one when I had a Triumph Spitfire :lol: but sold it when I sold the car! You would need something...

There's a lot of stud showing there. I'd try and get a nut welded to the stud and the heat from the welding will also help to breaking the bond. Personally I'd avoid the stud extractor - they can cause more issues than fix but depends on your luck. If you are going to use them (assuming it's a type ...

And you being a bit ...err ... dizzy. Any reasons you don't post those photos here?

I couldn't find them, honest - I'll ask Sam, he'll be happy to pass them to me again...

One for Pedda - you can buy Katana Oil in France... https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/equipement_moto/2494084477 Possibly not the same as the German Katana Oil... :lol: Can you remember my nephew Sam who came to the 2016 German EK?

While looking for some nice Takegawa parts for my recently acquired Honda 125 Dax ( :-) ) I found some on Amazon Japan.
