So, bought a new shock and tried to uninstall my DPX2. Haven’t taken it off since I bought the bike and it’s apparently pretty stuck.
I tried first with the correct size hex but eventually with enough force it just spinned around and rounded the bolt head. Then I hammered a Torx in there and tried with a 50cm lever and still it didn’t budge and eventually the Torx spinned around too. I’m out of options, the bolt seems like a hollow aluminum bolt so “easy out” probably won’t work either. I suppose there’s been a pretty liberal loctite application from the factory...
Suggestions?
