Hi all, I am dropping the engine out pf my 2011 blade to upgrade the gearbox box with Nova 3rd gear cog, as this is know to be weak spot on the blades..... The engine is ready to be dropped out but..... the rear bottom spindle is seized in...... any advice would be grateful. Jay
Just what I'm guessing you all ready know. Lots of wd40 or similar and leave it overnight. Tap it .twist it and swear it.
Agree with @Bikeboy . When you say 'spindle' do you mean the engine hanging bolt? Have you left the top bolt in and tried to remove the lower on first, thereby removing weight from the bottom bolt? Sometimes the obvious does not come to us in times of frustration.
Rather than WD40, use a proper releasing fluid like Plusgas. Not sure you get it here, but if you happen to be in France look out for stuff called "Degrippant" it does what it says on the time
