Do a search. You will find more than you want to know or hear. Sounds like you have a battle on your hands. Try having one person turning one end while another is tapping on the other end of the bolt.

Cut the mofo out is probably your only option at this point....:(

exracer,
How old is the quad? Mine is 2 yrs and last nite I just got mine out without damaging the bearings or swingarm. At first, I tried to beat it out, didn't work. Then sprayed much wd40 around spacers, or exposed collars. Rode the track hard, brought it back to the garage three days later. 4-5 smacks on the bolt, she broke free. Hopefully yours will be the same. Also, lots of prayer so I don't have to brake out the sawz all.
