Hi All,

I'm rebuilding my first saito. It's a 82A. It's been sitting for about six years. I had to use oil and heat to break it lose. To remove the carb, I had to use a heat gun on the bolts to get them to break free. So far the composite back plate is removed, carb is removed and rocker arm cover. I removed one of the rocker arm pins with no problem. The other one, well, let's just say it's a problem. I've soaked it in oil. I've heated it then dunked it in ice water to cool it hoping that would do it. It didn't! I re-heated it again and the rocker arm pin will not break lose.

It's not breaking free and if I force it I'll strip the head then I'll have more problems. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Chuck
