A nice heavy lump hammer would do the trick.

Alrite XT magicians! Tried this method after a week of penetrating oil treatment & the nasty little barsteward wont budge a millimter!

So plan B is the threaded bolt through the pivot bolt & try winding the bugger out. Plan C involves cutting out the frame fillets that the bolt passes through....

I'm starting to hate this frickin bolt.....

good luck..

Keith,

Any farming or 'Heavy' engineering place near you mate?, they usually have big -off hydraulic or 'wind-down' presses. Maybe they could apply alittle pressure to bear on the offending item?

I got the local bods near me to straighten out my Predator exhaust clamps which were still fitted to the downpipes as you can't remove them (8mm thick stainless plate and the previous owner had still bent the F****ers so both sides of the clamps touched the cylinder head )

Well.... a mate had a go, he rebuilds old Brit bikes & even he was beat.... I'm gonna see what a local mechanic can do, see if he has experience & the kit to shift just 1 bolt... This is holding stuff up!!!

Send it up to Tenereland foxy, I'll get the bugger out......

I had to do this on me S10....

And that is precisely what i have got to do on one of me 34L`s
