Use a ratchet tied to the very rear of you swing arm (best leverage) & to your subframe then tighten until the holes align, even with this method its still tight but will work, tie around both ends of swing arm not one or you will twist the arm out of shape.
The bolt is for "modding" the kick stand, to get TUV approval in Germany this method must be used of it will not pass MOT in Germany as it is part of an approved kit, you chop the kickstand in two places & weld that bolt in giving you adjust-ability.
Anywhere else you can just cop a section out & weld it up, job done.
But hopefully,,,your stand is worn (like most XT`s) and leans over more than it should, so no need to chop the stand anyhow.
Here is a pic with that bolt you have.
You see the modded stands on ebay.de occasionally as people put them back to standard & sell off the modified ones.
Mezo.
