How do you take the old one off..Allen bolt at the end is it reverse thread or what???

 

[Benesesso]

No, it's just Loctited in there "very well". I'd use a propane torch and gently heat the bolt, but the Loctited area is ~1" down from the head. I put mine back together with 1 drop of blue "removable" Loctite, after I got all the old stuff out of the hole and off the threads.

when i did this.. i had to use an impact gun that was good up to 260 lbs.. .and that thing was STILL a pain to get off... ohh.. and put a thick stick/bar inbetween ur rear wheel (also put some type of padding around the swingarm and wheel so u dont scratch it) becuase the wheel will want to spin if u dont

I used a Johnson bar w/ socket and put my foot on the rear brake - worked like a charm.
