Stuck Hub Bolts
Attempting to install some Future Classic spacers and my hub bolts seem to be seized up pretty good. I did some searching and couldn't find much. Any tips or tricks on how to get these things loosened and out? I've attempted WD-40, hammer, allen key, breaker bar. One is starting to strip so I wanted to check here before I proceed any further. Thanks for any help.

PB blaster let it soak in. Rubber mallet to tap. Small torch if required. Skip the breaker bar unless you want to relieve stress and break something beautiful. This bolt strip easily and generally is a PIA. Use some tape to tighten up the clearance. Worse case is you need to use a speed out extractor.

They have red thread locker on them from the factory. Heat should help you if you're stuck.
I just used an offset wrench on mine and it took a good bit of elbow grease. Make sure you're using a 6 point socket or wrench too. |

Thank you both. Very helpful. Going to buy some more tools and PB blaster and give it another swing.
