Yamaha DT1 update - after 4-5 days of soaking in penetrating fluid, LH drill bits, a Harbor Freight screw extractor kit, and patience did the deed. I got all those bolts out without breaking a single one. Need to split the case, and it will be fully disassembled.

You Sir, are an f-ing saint. There’s nothing I hate more than the patience required to deal with stubborn or broken bolts. There’s no zen in this for me. Kudos to you.

I see PB Blaster lurking in the background! I assume you plan to replace the fasteners with hex- or Allen-head screws?
