Yamaha Raptor 350 chain too tight!

i finally decided to tighten my chain cause it was rubbing way too bad, and making a lot of noise. I i followed the instructions like the manual says....but it all of a sudden got real tight...and when i tried to loosen it back up it wouldnt budge. I even tried to push the tires forward as hard as i could...i pretty much have done everything thats basic to get it lose again...i tried to tighten the two adjusting bolts as much as a could to push the rear forward, but i dont wanna start strippin and bending things..

is there any tricks or hints to doing this?

any advice?

is the only way to possibly fix it is with 2 people?

ohh jeeze i need to get back in action, and this chain dilema is holdin me back...anyone? some help please...

thanks,
Maila

did you loosen the two large bolts on the rear end? not the adjusting bolts, the other two much larger ones?

ya ..but theres 4 ...and the top ones i stripped cause i was using a 12 tooth, so i took it to my friend at a shop and a couple guys got on it and broke it loose for me...everythings all good now
