IT' OFF!!!

I put the hub holder on tight, applied generous amounts of heat via a map gas torch and then whacked it with my impact gun.

Of course, the hub got hot and the holder squeezed it way out of round.  In hindsight, I should have known better than to squeeze it so tightly but I was so intent on getting it off that all caution was through out.

Bike Bandit lists them at $37.  GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

Newbie here...I am currently having a heck of a time trying to get the bolt off my sons 2004 KX65. Can you confirm that the bolt thread is not reversed? Thanks

Finally, it is off!!! No, it is not reversed thread to answer my own question. A ton of heat and about 110 psi on the impact wrench finally broke it loose. Great thread!!! Thanks kxriders.

I am in the process of splitting my first case to replace the lower bearing rod so I am sure I will have more questions going forward.
