I have backed out for tonight as have found the bolt too tight to remove with my small socket set and will have a go with a larger one tomorrow when the light is better. Just a little concerned at the amount of pressure required to free the bolt and the effects on the cam chain turning as I don't want to upset anything. Should I be concerned or just use more force? Any advice appreciated. Thanks
I was worried about this as well. I basically ended up putting the bike into gear, standing on the rear braks with my left foot whilst bending over to remove the bolt (ideally if you had someone to sit on the bike and put some force onto the rear brake).
side stand, not centre stand.
Eventually it came loose and Ive had no ill effects after 200 miles.
