My Bike is broken

As I had mentioned to a few people, I broke my shock absorber in September. I've taken out the upper half but am now having problems with the bottom part. Now the resessed allen head wants to strip!!!






















Fortunately there wasn't much damage done to the shock itself. The lower part that broke can be unscrewed and replaced. It's normally used to set the height of bike.













Any good suggestions here?








It seems to me that probably the head is corroded into the swingarm.

Kenny, do you still think your wax trick could be helpful here? Please don't suggest getting a new bike again, you know the Fachwerk is taking my money right now.....

  1. Oh How I hate when the recessed allen head wants to strip! The head is definitely corroded into the swingarm. The wax trick the wax trick!
