Hi if you are putting new arms on anyway just heat the bolt up with a blow torch that will free it up. Steve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyC Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I had a very similar problem when I was trying to remove a long steele bolt from my Virago aluminium engine. I purchased a rattle gun (Off ebay) . It came out in no time. The constant vibration slowly loosened it up, then it started to spin and walla. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You use the gun before remove the nut or with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the nut off first using heat. You can always use a nut splitter or a dremel to cut through it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
