Im trying to overhaul the pivot on my superlight. I got the shock bolts off with no problems but I have been desparately trying to get the pivot bolt out of the bearings for about an hour now. It is almost completely seized up inside the bearings. (yes, I have already loosened the pinch bolts)
I have gotten it to move to one side a little bit, perhaps 2 or 3 mm, but thats it. I've tried squirting lube in there. Ive been beating the hell out of my punch and I am just short of sawing the damn thing in half just to get it out of there! Does anyone have any helpful tips for loosening this seized bolt from the bearing? Thanks
