Clutch lever removal

[Steve Smith <stevesmith@domain.elided>]

Hi,

    The "bolt" you are referring to is actually a cotter pin made famous 
by its use on bicycle crank arms of long, long ago. Replacements can be 
found at a good bike shop. You'll need one since you've been pounding the 
threaded end into oblivion trying to get it out. It was probably over 
tightened by your P.O. and now needs to be pressed, rather than hit to be 
removed.
   I've never tried it, but there is a clam-like tool used to remove tie 
rod ends that has a split that would allow the round end of the cotter to 
push out while you screw down on the threaded end. It just might work if 
you have room.

Good luck,
