crazywheelerman365 Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Maybe some PB fluid and a bigger hammer...Should pop loose.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5Banshee Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I would soak it in a lubricant of your choice (PB blaster like crazywheelerman said) overnight, then attack it with a sledge... That's what I had to do on my wife's blaster. Also, don't hit directly on the end of the shaft. Spin the nut on, then smack that....then you don't mushroom the threads on the shaft.

NYUK Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 fluid,impact wrench,fluid,impact wrench..that will loosen it up inside the bushing.Then start with the hammer. 506677[/snapback] and if that fails,THEN you get the sawzall, or 4 inch grinder and cut wheel.sometimes that bolt welds to the pivot sleeve purty darn good. i got a frame in my yard, the last bike i parted out, the guy was riding around with no nut on the pivot bolt that fuckers welded good and tight.i`ll get to it when i get to it.
