My manual indicates that it is a "left hand" thread. Is this your problem? Also, you may need to use an impact wrench to loosen. Most rental yards have one.

call up a local dealer and see if they will let you talk to a mechanic or give you some kind of help

If a 100#ft. electric impact doesn't do it, the last resort would be a machine shop. The older the better.

if im correct mines is a 600 ft tq...ice taken it to a honda dealer they couldnt not get it off

[hondariderdylan]

what the hell?
is it welded to the assembly or somthin?

if the dealer couldnt get it off then its gonna be a tough one

i would let it bathe in some kind of penetrating oil to see if it can losen it up some

but then again i might not know what im talkin about
just my idea
