Yes, the bolt is removed the normal counter-clockwise rotation. I use a 2x4 pushed through the rear wheel to keep it from rotating instead of trying to hold the brakes. What Al1040 said is a good recommendation, impacts work wonders.

 

Can't beat a bit of 2x4 or is that 51 x 102mm?

 

Thanks For reply Al1040, I got it off ok, used 3foot steel pole over the breaker bar, got 2 people to sit on bike while holding front and back brake and in first gear also.
new afam chain and sprockets set now fitted all fitted, myself to save money ,didnt have rivet tool so used hammer and center punch, the afam master link
comes with center recess's so easy enough to splay, but will invest in a tool before next chain change.

 

oh and yes, ill get some 2x4 good advice

 

Or 51 x 102's depending on where you are...
