I used a couple of pipe wrenches, 18" and 24".

Just in case you don't know the nuts have left hand threads.

well me and my friend had that problem on his 400 ex make sure your screwing it the right way. then put someone on the quad with it off and in gear have them hold the front and back brakes. get a big pipe wrench and a 4-5 foot steep pipe that will fit on the pipe wrench and twist it as hard as you can and if you arent strong enough find someone else. its on there tight so when it comes loose at first you will think that you broke it. that happened to me. make sure you twist the bolt toward the swingarm so you can get the ring off before you twist out and the threads are regular threads nuthign special. if that doesnt work then do what dober250r said "Torch the B*tch!!! Just cut the ******* off!!!" hahaha well put
