[QUOTE="biglou, post: 658097"] Lonewolf-Put the socket on the bolt head. If can't turn it with a fair amount of force, stop. Try putting your vice grips on the nut AND the socket on the bolt head and then turn them both at the same time. Once the nut backs away from the swingarm the bolt should turn out. It the bolt is hard to remove all the way, use some silicone or penetrating oil on the threads, run it back in without tightening it, then back it out. Repeat that process until you have the bolt in your hand. If the nut spins freely on the bolt, back it up against the bolt head so you can "chase" the threads in the swingarm using the oiled bolt threads as a sort of tap. Take your time, let the oil soak if necessary. You don't want to booger up the threads in the swingarm. Once you get the bolt out, head for the hardware store and find a replacement for the nut and maybe the bolt, too. Most hardware stores should have stainless steel metric hardware available. Cost will be a couple bucks. This would be a great time for new hardware and some oil on the othe side of the swingarm, as well. [/QUOTE]
