Hi.
I`m about to take out my engine, but the bolt which holds the engine and rear fork will NOT come out.
I`ve tried to hit it like show`n in the workshop manual, but it`s stuck!

What too do ?

Nice play mat.

Have you tried any releasing ajent like wd-40, or plus gas? aslo try shocking it to get it moving eg tapping the allen key with a hammer! westie

 

[humm]

Yes Westie, I`ve done that.

undo bolt on oposide size, its the same size as a spark plug spanner then twat it through with a mash hammer, thats what i did anyways

Old Painless: I`ve tried.. no luck

Here`s some better pictures.

clearly the nut is ff, now hit it with a hammer?

u may wana use a coper headed hammer as u could damage the thread thus creating a mushroom shape making it harder to get the bolt out! westie

I`m not THAT stupid

I`ve hitted it A LOT! But it`s really stuck.

Shure I don`t have to take of something else first ?

no,there's nothing else to undo,those "axles" just love to seize........use plus gas,not wd40 and use a drift to knock it out with the biggest hammer you've got.
TBH it looks like you've allready rounded the end of the axle,check if the nut still goes on !

 

[humm]

The nut still goes on..

 

[Old Painless]

As above, a drift and a hammer. If it wont shift, get a bigger hammer - anything up to a sledge hammer will do.

I used a rubber dead-blow hammer.
