I like painting a very thin layer of rock miracle paint remover, then going at it with a gasket removal tool. Works great.

I just went thru this with my 73 Yamaha TX750. Rock hard and even a well sharpened chissel was useless. So it was plan B time. Propane torch and went straight on the faces of the stuck on pieces till the gasket material sort of glowed..fell right off with the chisel then. I took some rags and soaked then to drape over the clutch and anything else I didnt want the flame to get to. Did the covers AND the engine cases themselves. Done in a matter of a few minutes without a scratch on the aluminum.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

Be very careful though!! Dips ground into the flatness of the machined surfaces create places that can become very bad leaking spots!!! Wavy gravy means no oil savey!!!MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
