Stiff bolts

I'm removing the rear shock from my sv650 sk9 and the nut and bolts are so tight I can't get them out. Has anyone got ideas please

Re: Stiff bolts

Bigger hammer. Dont hit the end of the swingarm bolt but put a nut back on it. Seeing your other thread on shocks just make sure that the bike is secured properly.

Hit and twist the bolts.

Re: Stiff bolts

penetrating oil!

Leave about 10 mins and use a breaker bar on the bolts

Re: Stiff bolts

use proper six sided sockets not 12 or you will round the bloody things off, lots of penetrating oil and a break bar

ps the exhaust gets in the way a bit

Tut, get to the gym!
A good soak in WD or similar and leave to work as already stated.

WD is not a proper penetrative you'd do better with 3in1 oil if you have no proper stuf
