Hi,
I have been gifted a weapon of a pub bike and commuter. It is in rough shape and im looking to tighten it all up so it will last into the future. The rear triangle is swaying from the lower seat stay pivots and would like to change the bearings there. I've run into a snag disassembling where the drive side bolt it seized in.
Any advice and guidance to get this out and get this thing back on the road.
Cheers

I've managed to pry it off today with the right sized hex and gt85... now its a case of replacing the culprit causing the play. seems to be a plastic bushing.
