Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

They'll be really tight for obvious reasons...are they allen heads,bolts/nuts....?? Which ever, they'll be locktite'd on...make sure you have good tools or you'll destroy the heads...;)

An impact driver is your friend here, most fastenings on bikes these days are actually made of a hard aluminium coloured cheese.

If you have not got one it will be the best purchase you could make!

+1 on the driver but also a blowtorch bitta head works wonders

Those bolts are held in with non-permanent thread lock, so be careful you don't mess up the allen heads. Make sure you put fresh non permanent thread lock on as you rebuild or run the risk of the bolts coming loose and causing you an accident.
