Can't turn adjustable link. Any suggestions?

[hartmanap]

Started out lowered. Had them raise it back to stock last year because I was over 300lbs and drug everywhere. Well in the past year I've shed 130 lbs and I want it lowered again. Headed out to the garage, removed the belly pan and the exhaust so I could get to the bolts easier. Left side loosened up easily and I set it where I wanted. Went to the right and the stupid thing wont budge. Got the wife to sit on it to load it up but she is only 100lbs and it didn't help. Any suggestions?

My knuckles and fingers are busted and bloody and I'm frustrated. Any help is appreciated.

Penatrating oil, Kroil, PB Blaster, or even WD-40 will work.
Let is soak down into the threads. A little heat from a propane torch works well too.

squirt some merphy's marvel mistery oil on it and let it sit for a while. then see if it will work free.

A little WD-40 and a longer wrench and it finally turned. Not as low as it initially was but it will work I suppose.

Alright since we are talking about WD-40, just a quick question:

Can I apply WD-40 to my brake levers, gear shifters etc to lubricate? Manual states apply grease but kinda messy job.

Congrats on the shed/loss

BTW, don't put lock tight on your adjustable links anymore~!~

I wouldn't recommend it. WD40 has abrasives in it.

Then what do you recommend then?
