I recently made the mistake of parking my F2 on unstable ground, and unluckily enough, the bike fell over. Besides making me feel like an idiot, it also broke the clutch lever.

Of course, normally this is no big deal, just replace the lever. So I got a new lever and started to replace it. The old lever had basically fallen apart all around the bushing, and basically just fell out. The only parts left to deal with are the bolt and the bushing from the lever.

The problem is that the bushing seems to be stuck on the bolt. ive tried hammering the bottom of the bolt with a small hammer, and it wont push through at all. ive also tried to hold onto the bushing with both pliers and vice grips and then trying to turn the bolt to loosen it, but it refuses to move. it's seriously stuck.

any ideas?

 

Alright, I'm going to try soaking it in some stuff and then see if I can't get it loose by tapping the bushing with something.
