Matt,
I totally believe you. Humberto Martinez had the same ordeal.... torch and all.
I'm starting to wonderif it wouldn't be smart to pull rears off and lube up with some never sneeze.
Mine came off no problem... but obviously others....
Matt do you believe delay in replacing was an issue?

Bruce,
My X was dumped by the previous owner at some point (he'd mounted his added oil blowback filter above the rear wheel so any blowback landed smack dab in the middle of the contact patch. I rectified this real quick after one too many public street hot shoe moments {the evo collection canister is actually a cool addition and cleaner} but the damage to the tank and one of the floor board bosses says to me it went down at speed) I think that contributed some to the cold weld. I did anti-seize the shyte out of it on reinstall. But yes, heat+two breaker bars+2 250 dudes = zero movement. When we cut it, it slid right out.
