UPDATE IN LAST POST
I recently bought a 74 CB360 and have started taking the engine apart to fix an oil leak from the rocker cover as well as get a general idea of the condition inside the motor. Unfortunately I got stuck pretty early in. For some reason, Honda thought it would be a good idea to use screws on the engine and 40 some years later they don't want to move.
I am especially worried about removing the right side engine cover to get at the oil filter, I was only able to remove one screw.
I also can't get the rocker cover off because of the one bolt under the tachometer cable. The cable is held in place with a retaining screw that will not move, and the open end of my wrench is slipping on the bolt head.
I have seen impact drivers that are basically a screwdriver that you hit with a hammer to twist. Is this the best way to remove the screws. I really don't want to strip anything and be totally screwed...see what I did there? Once I get them out I plan to replace them with allen head or regular hex bolts.
Any input is appreciated.
