I've started another restoration project, a 1983 Suzuki GN125. Nice little beginner bike.
I've attached a couple of pictures. First one when I just rolled it into my shop. Looking pretty good from a distance. Second one is partially torn down. The deeper I look, the more stuff is screwed up on it or missing, or worn, or damaged. Ordered about $150.00 worth of new parts for it today. But, I love doing this kind of restoration work.
All is going well at this point except for the exhaust header pipe. It's held onto the cylinder head with two stud bolts that are screwed into the head. One is OK. The second one is broken off in the head with only about 1/4" of the stud sticking out.
I've been soaking it with PB Blaster for the past few days. Haven't tried to turn on it yet.
What methods have you all used to remove a broken stud bolt like this?
Any experience or advice would be appreciated before I start poking at it!
