[#9656681]

My YT Tues has a Truvativ Descendant chainset. It has a 10mm Allen socket on the driveside.
I seem to be using A LOT of force in an anti-clockwise manner and i still cant undo it.

The plan for tomorrow is to place the bike nds crank arm in a bench vise with softjaws, and try and undo the ds fixing with a breaker bar or scaffold tube.

Anyone got a more elegant solution?

is it a self extracting bolt? is there a smaller internal allen bolt probably 8mm?

Its self extracting. The 8mm allen bolt ones are on the nds...its a different series of chainset
