Get a big screwdriver, and try to tighten them till they "pop." Then with all your weight behind it try to loosen them. Those screws get thread locker on them. If you trash em...oh well at least you got em out. I trashed mine during disassembly. Worse case senario....easy-out. Careful tho, they have like a 1/4 inch threads. Order some new ones through Larry Lilly.

I use Form-a-gasket on everything that holds back oil, dont use it when gas/premix is present as gas is a solivent and will remove the sealer...theres a tip for you if you want to clean off excess or your nasty bottle!! That stuff is so sticky I dont know how you set the bottle down! HAHA

You'd be suprised how much beating a case will take if done correctly. If one doesn't have a press for the crank bearings.
Installing the crank bearings maybe better left for the shop to do.

Go the the metal scrap yard and buy a round ,steel slug about 8" long of the same diameter as the bearings.
Heat that in the oven for a few hours, then CAREFULLY place that in the cases.
The heat will transfer and open up the bores with out getting you kicked out of the house,.
Buy it from the "remnants" section.... shouldn't cost more than a few bucks..

Small set back today.
I called Glen at GSS and he is having heart problems so he is taking some time off and won't be back in the shop until July. I am a little bummed but I would whether see the guy take care of himself then get my bike done.
I guess I will check the front and rear suspension and steering now.
Any suggestions as to what to look for?

Grab the swinger and pull side to side and check for sloppyness. The headset bearings should look nice and shinny (after you clean them) no pitting or rust. The races should look similar. ANY damage or cracks at all, REPLACE.
