can anyone help with the removal of a 85 200x top end? i just cant the dumb thing off

get the manual...slow down.

don't take anything apart if you aren't familiar with it.

[ugly200x]

im familiar, ive just never faced a bolt so difficult to get off

i got the downloadable manual it shows everything you need.

[Dirtcrasher]

Even WITH a manual, there is so much that needs to be correct..... and the manual only shows the correct way with the correct parts.

But, if you mount things in steps you can find out if you F'd up or something else is wrong. Just by you stating, "I'm not sure if I have the right mounting bolts" leads me to believe you are mounting things with all thread, any bolt you found and or bubble gum.

Things that are meant to be free and are allowed to rotate and or slide need a spacer between them that is a hair longer than the piece that needs to do it's job. This is nearly impossible to explain... uggghhhhhh

All I can say is mount the swinger and see if it rotates free, mount one shock bolt and do the same, repeat with the upper shock bolt and on and on and on.

GOOD LUCK!!

Lol I've moved on since the shock. I learned the hard way. The top ends the one givin me the problems. I can't remove those top bolts
