Oh please someone save me. Attempting to replace the bendix gear on my 80 xs650 and the bolts are stuck. Any suggestions, besides something explosive, to loosen them up? I dont know who was possessed someone at yamaha to use phillips to begin with...
Attached is a pictures of the problem... yes... I was stupid with one bolt, but was mad and the extractor took what was left of the phillips head off the bolt.

By the way... I've been a stalker on these forums off and on for a few months. You guys are a great help. You have helped me figure out so many things that someone has done to this poor bike.
Its an 80 with 16000 miles on it. Its a little beat up, been slowly bringing it back to its old glory.
