Just servicing a Trek Fuel and I'm wanting to take the shock off so I can put some fresh bearings in the linkage.
There's a bolt through the shock with a big nut on the other end - the nut comes off easily enough, but I'm at a loss as to getting the bolt itself out.
Does it just want some gentle persuasion with a hammer or is there something I'm missing?
Can't be that hard can it? Any pro tips?

Cheers.

Just needs tapping through with a hammer and drift. You may also need to loosen the suspension to remove/refit the shock,as some Treks preload the shock clamp.
