Seized Bolt Anyone?!

Thanks Nickj, a younger me would have definitely had the burning gear to it by now!
I didn't want to get too physical with it as I don't think the alloy swingarm will take it, another issue with heating being the proximity of the Ohlins (nylon) rebound adjuster and the heatsink nature of the parent material.
Time is on my side I'm not in rush.

This could be worth looking at - AdriansModelAeroEngines.com (Technical Topics, loosening rusted nuts and bolts) - an American machinist magazine did an experiment comparing a range of penetrating fluids and found that a home brewed potion consisting of equal parts Automatic Transmission Fluid and Acetone performed much better that any commercial product. They compared the torque required to loosen a batch of corroded fixings after being treated with the different products. You could use cellulose thinners instead of acetone.

Good luck! Martin
