I cant get the rear linkage off the frame. I unscrewed the nut but the bolt wont slide out. Ive heard heat works but i dont wanna hurt anything.

i have been there before. the last tim ei tok mine apart it did the same thing. it had siezed itself in there in once you pound it out it should be fine. I didnt that and greased it up and its good as new. works perfect now. But damn was it hard to get out. I think i put the nut on the end a little so i wouldnt mess up the threads and then used a long screwdriver or extension to hit it out with a big mallot or something large like that. Just dont hit it too hard cause you dont want to break anything. Just soak it in wd40 also.. i mean spray it and then 5 mins later spray it again and do it about 10 times and keep spinning it. Should come right out then.
