jimmythehat Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 LAY BIKE OVER ON LH SIDE SO END OF BOLT IS EASY TO GET TO THEN SPIN THE NUT BACK ON SO IT JUST IS LEVEL WITH END OF THREADS, RUN SOME WD 40 OR PENETRATING OIL DOWN THE BOLT AND FIND YOUR FAV HEAVY HAMMER ,BE CAREFUL NOT TO HIT ANYTHING BUT THE NUT , EVEN USE HEAT ON THE CENTRE OF SWINGARM WHERE BOLT GOES THROUGH, HEAT WILL EXPAND THE METAL IN THE SWINGARM HOPEFULLY RELEASING THE BOLT..
