The rehab of my R75/6 is going well. I have new grease in the bearings and new rubber on the wheels. The brake system has been flushed and new fluid added, and the handlebar control cables have been replaced and/or greased.
I am ready to change out the pipes for some new ones, but I have been stopped cold by a warning in Mathew Parkhouse's article in the Jan issue of the Owners News where he warns about "Extensive Damage" that can result in removing exhaust nuts that have frozen onto the heads. The exhaust nuts on my bike have been on for 25 years and have never been removed, so there is an excellent chance they are frozen into position.
Mathew said that the procedure for cutting the nuts off was described in an earlier article, but I don't have thatb one.
Can somone send me the article, or advise me on what to do?
Thanks.
