right.........

i need to change the bush in the bottom of my shock on my rev3 but i cant undo the bolt, there is no linkage, the shock bolts to the left swing arm, and the allen key bolt is resest in the swing arm (page 6 bolt 6) if anyone can post the picture that might help, i dont know how

we have soaked it over 2 nights in oil, and tried a allen key socket on a breakerbar & shocking it, which resulted in problem 2

the allen has snapped flush in the bolt head, but as i said the bolt is reset in the swing arm.

i dont fancy using heat, as its all ally and may damage the shock?

so, i need to

1) get the bit of allen key out

2) undo the bolt

Tough one, now that you have the swingarm off turn it on it's side and try soaking the bolt/nut from the middle of the swing arm. You can apply heat, small mini torch works well, to the nut as long as you don't get carries away with it. I know it's kind of after the fact but I pull my shock bolts out about evert three months and regrease them. Good luck !
