Must be the same guy that put on my heel shifter. \\; I tried everything, including heat. \\; Finally gave up, stopped by the dealer and told him there was no way that was coming off without ruining the bolt. \\; He told me it would only take a second and he would have a tech pop it out for me. \\; Well, the tech rolled it inside and about a half hour later he had it off, after they drilled the bolt out of the shifter. \\; It was still free and they apologized, said it should have not been that way, uh duh! \\; Must be a big guy on the line or they need to calibrate their torque wrenches.
