e-One Sixty 9000 2020 rear triangle lower fwd bolt stuck

[jonaskos]

Going for a bearing replacement but the no. 3 bolt in the illustration is stuck. Wouldn't even rotate at first but now spins quite freely. No. 4 on the other end is off and I have used that to try and hit out the bolt with no luck. I don't want to hit it too hard. Enyone else had this problem?

Try these:

Get a long bolt that has the same thread as No.4, or just a piece of threaded shaft. Screw that into No 3 and push out No 3.

It sounds like No 3 is stuck to the inner race of the bearing No. 2. If you use a bearing removal tool, can you push it out that way?

Be careful not to sprain the frame.

As long as you can support the frame around where the bearing is, it's worth hitting the bolt with a hammer (with the longer bolt screwed into it). Don't use a small hammer, use a big one and start with a gentle tap. You can be more accurate and still have a good effect.
