The only real problems I’ve had stripping it is around the fenders, it must be all that rain and dirt that deteriorates the retaining nuts and bolts. I just got the crank out with no bother at all (love caged bearings) and the bearing racers are in surprisingly Good shape. I have to say that this is an extremely well made frame.
One thing I did notice is the chainring seems to have a copper colour showing through where the chrome has worn.
Anytime, and keep in mind that with a PITA task like this, it can be all about the tool.
This pencil grinder maneuvers and gets in places to do a far better job than bulky full sized ones while still having plenty of speed and power.
Again patience is key, soak and wait then proceed with extreme caution.
