Seized Bolt Anyone?!

[WAH]

^ agree with your observations, I'm getting to stage where I'm having to ration the use of the imapact gun, it's rounding off the hex and soon the bit won't fit. Still waiting for the wizards **** to arrive (Innotec) that will be the decision point on what happens next.
The swingarm removal is going to put up a fight too, the spindle bolt adjacent to the output shaft has been mangled by the chain, judging by the scars on it I'd have to guess the chain has come off it under load.
Once again thanks for all the input, it's keeping me sane.

Obviously good quality Allen bits help in that department, but a trick I often use is to put some coarse grinding paste in the Allen head. it helps a lot in the fight against rounding out.

A case saver is good for peace of mind. A chain break can cost an engine!

How about looking for some plastic tube that can be pushed over the nut - then fill the tube with your favoured penetrating fluid and leave for it to do it's stuff?
