This is what it looks like fitted...
It's so tight because the weight of the bike is resting on this bolt.
If you don't support the weight of the bike, it will collapse when you remove the bolt. If you havn't got the means to do this (MX Stand, blocks of wood etc) turn the fuel off, run the float bowl dry then lower the bike onto it's side.
Losening off the pre-load will help a lot too, as will getting a mate around.
If you think thats tight, wait until you fit the spring.. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
