Nope, phantom post. Great info and research for Yamaha lock sets.

OK, but your additional comments will be very helpful. I had imagined removing the housing as springs, spacers and other guts flew over my shoulder.

Thanks for the link and the additional information. I searched for a previous post, but this one was not included.

The sliding door would be a plus. I’ll look around for an assembly. Thanks again. Of course I’ll need to get the decal redone.

Good info. Thanks! Do you think I can find the opening cover, or be forced to try to repair existing?

I need to repair or replace the dust cover/door on this switch on ‘78 Special. Local locksmith was not helpful. Does anyone have experience locating that part and what I could expect when I remove the screws holding the switch together? Boing, boing!

Ok, obviously I’m a new member. As I wander around this site NOW I see Tech Tips and a post answering all my questions regarding butterfly screws. Duh. Thanks all for reintegrating what was already in print and tolerating my laziness.

“Heat can be your friend!”

They’re not pristine, that’s for sure. Some corrosion and rust. I’ll get em. Don’t wanna have to drill them out. Bike last titled in ‘97…

Thanks, guys. All good stuff. I’m thinking a variable speed tool with a larger sanding disc might be the easiest to control. I use my JIS bits with a T-handle for extra torque. Hope they didn’t use Loctite, too.

I’m rebuilding a set of pretty nasty carburetors and want to completely disassemble and vapor blast. I need to remove the screws from the butterfly throttle valves and remove the throttle shafts. I see the screws have been factory crimped to prevent loosening and dropping into intake ports...
