[QUOTE="Tdel, post: 819438, member: 51999"] I did my 95 RM-250 this past spring. It was the original bolt and bearings, and I soaked it with PB blaster (much better than WD-40). I ended up having to thread the nut on so it was flush with the bolt end and using a socket and extension to pound on the bolt. It ended up taking a 12 pound sledge with me bracing the bike and one of my extremely large law enforcement friends swinging the sledge. After all of that it still took close to an hour. The bearing inserts were even worse, 21 ton press to get them out. Don't pound on the directly on the bolt it will mushroom (become larger than the bolt hole) and you will have to cut the bolt out at that point. [/QUOTE]
