So finally got my arse moving and tried to remove the stand from the frame. Two bolts hold this thing on, got the first one off with alot of effort, the threads had a small amount of green material,(locktite?), the second bolt she no budge. Slapped a cheater bar on my ratchet and got the bolt to move and made a sound like it cracked free. This bolt never got any easier to turn, still had to use the cheater bar, and the bolt wasn't coming out. I tried to reverse direction and it felt like it was fully tight and it wouldn't budge. Any suggestions?

Guess I should have mentioned this is for the Honda F4i. The centerstand had already been removed. I was unable to get a wrench on the bolt that acts as the pivot for the sidestand, hence I was trying to remove the entire unit by unbolting it from the frame.Darrel
