What's the trick to getting this booger out, lift up somewhere to release tension to get the bolt to slide out, but not all the way out cuz the swing arm is attached??? Any help on the best way to do this? Thanks.
Holy crap that thing is huge.....maybe I'll try a sledgehammer and block.....I was using an ole' regular hammer.... need something with some weight.....
^^ Yup, that's why I had to do on mine. I soaked it a couple days in pb blaster and had my son turn on the wrench as I smacked it with a big hammer. Once it started to pull through it got real tough again and I used an old ratchet extension. It did take a bit though. Make sure you spray everywhere you can and keep turning it if you can to brake some of the crap loose, then give it some whacks. Keep the nut on it also so you don't mushroom the threads.
When I reinstalled it I cleaned it really well and applied some waterproof grease.
Good luck..
