This doth indeed suck. Jeremy and I had worked for days now on what started on being the job of changing the belt, filters, and weights on my Yamaha Majesty. From the riding I have been doing in the winter, the bolts and screws on the scoot have become frozen in place with salt and brine. The scoot was put together with all phillips head screws and bolts and they were stripping like mad. We used easy-outs that Vince got from Sears and still the bolts broke off and heads were destroyed. Finally it came down to getting the left air filter case off in order to get to the v-belt case cover off. In order to do THAT, Jeremy and I had to take off damn near half the side, rear and top of the friggin bike. Please note that this was ONLY because we couldn't get to the bolts as they were stripped and about welded in place by salt corrosion.
