Cleaning this:

And got stuck... used half a can of PB Blaster... rounded off the head... cut in a notch for a flat head... broke the screwdriver... bent two other screwdrivers ... had to do this:

I'm not so angry anymore. Just need to get a stand or jackstands so I can get that back wheel off and fix this ASAP. The weather just got good here. I can't tell if it was me being stupid or if the sand and crap from the road caused it to seize. Either way, it ruined a perfectly good weekend.

I won't be getting one til Wednesday.

Wait a sec six did you loosen the axle bolts before trying to adjust your chain?

Yes. I don't know what happened. Once I get the rear off the ground, the wheel will come off and I'll 'hopefully' be able to fix it myself.

Wow. Topic change.

Got some jack stands today so I should be able to get her up in the air and pull the rear wheel to decide exactly what needs to be done.

It's quite rediculous that this went so bad on me so fast. Oh well. My hard lesson for others to learn from.

I have some jack stands now. I need to figure out how I can jack the back of the bike up and get it on the stands. I'll be posting in here again if I can't find anything on the search function.

Use a floor jack and raise it from the headers if there factory. Do it quick though just in case. Try to jack it more towards the back of the header where theres a mounting point. Then put the jacks underneath. Id have someone help you though i dropped my bike like that haha

Got my wheel off this afternoon. It's good to know how to do that now.

It's good to know that the dealer I had change my tires took good care of my bike and lubed the axle up good.

And a great big shout out to the bolt that caused all this trouble.

The threads were obviously damaged but she came out okay. I think I'll have the dealer overnight one so I can ride Tuesday so long as it isn't like 25$ to do it.
