[QUOTE="Dirt Bike Dan, post: 818212, member: 55515"] First, let me say I have done a search on this topic, but I still have a few questions. I have an '83 KDX 250, and the pivot bolt is stuck. It won't move laterally, it won't spin, nothing. I can get the nut off, but not the bolt. I figure it's stuck on the bearings. first question: Is it possible the bolt is stuck where the bolt passes through the engine (transmission, rather)? Second Question: If I have to use heat to help get the bolt out, where should I heat? I don't want to damage the Al. S-arm, or the engine cases. Thirdly, what type of penetrating oil do you recommend? Is WD40 fine? (for easiest removal, I'm sure it will eventually come out) And finally, when I reassemble, which is better, anti-seize or waterproof grease? Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
