Re: [ST] Nut won't budge

[Matthew Heyer <matthewheyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well the PB Blaster did the trick!  Nut is off and drive shaft pulled right out - whew!  Ken stopped by with the PB stuff, and for good measure I sat on the bike in gear with the rear brake applied while Ken loosened the nut.  Damn that thing was on there.  Good riddance!
 
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Matthew,I took mine off and it was a massive struggle.I used a 3/4" drive 
rachet and I am very strong for my size.It was a real battle and I think I 
had to have my son sit on back of bike to hold it down.It did come off after 
I lost about 10 lbs of sweat.Jim.
