I was hoping someone had a tip-or-trick to help me removes the lower pin of the rear shock. Here is what I have tried do far (note: swing-arm is removed from bike, and bolt that secured the lower shock mount is removed).
1: Attached vise grips and try to rotate (no-go)
2: Generous coating of "PB Blast" penetrant, try to rotate/pull out with vise grips (no-go)
3: Soak overnight with rag soaked with PB Blast, try to rotate/pull with vise grips (no-go)
4: Repeat PB Blast, Strike with hammer & chisel to loosen any corrsion, try to rotate/pull out with vise grip (no go)
5: Swear alot (this did not seem to help)
6: Use Dremel tool to grind two flat sections into the pin, PB Blast, attach vise grips. (Able to rotate 1/4 turn at best and then, quite literally, break all of the teeth out of vise grip)
7: Swear some more.
8: Go to the forum for tips before I hurt myself!
Help me please!
