As I am waiting for some parts to arrive to get the 150 cc running again I wanted to take a look inside the CVT box to check the belt and clean it out. Perhaps a CVT tune is in the future. . .
Twelve of the thirteen bolts came out easily but the one at the front/top wouldn't budge. I tried WD40, Liquid Wrench, tapping it with a hammer, even my buddy's small impact wrench. The socket just kept slipping past the stubborn bolt head.
Yesterday I bought a box of Craftsman Power Bolt-Out. They have a few curved/aggressive sockets to grab stubborn bolt heads. Tried it this morning, with a ratchet, and it popped out pretty easily. I'm glad I did not have to resort to any more drastic measures.
Thumbs up!

Ah, how sweet it is....the pleasure we derive from conquering a stubborn bolt, not to mention buying a new tool. I think most of us here, know the feeling. Keep on wrenching.
