I just picked up a 98 Rock Shox Sid. I'm trying to remove the lower legs but the bolt on the bottom of the left leg just spins. Here's what I've tried. I let the air out of the shocks then loosened the bolts and tapped them with a rubber mallet. The bolt in the right leg came out just fine but the left leg would just spin. I couldn't loosen or tighten it. I removed the top cap and the air piston spins when I try to turn the shaft bolt in the left leg. I pulled the air piston out and can see that the neutral shaft just spins when I turn the shaft bolt on the left leg. I can tighten everything up if I stick an allen wrench on the air piston and then tighten the shaft bolt but no luck going the other direction. I've tried to search for a solution without any luck. Has anybody else had this problem? Any ideas how to remove this bolt so I can get the lower legs off? Should the neutral shaft be spinning like this?
