what about that dam bolt with the spring on it?? it just doesnt seem to ever come out!! or am i doing something wrong :(

Takes forever mate, best use a 1/4 drive ratchet or even better a ratchet spanner, eventually it will come out, the spring will be loose/untensioned. Grease it up when you put it back in, will make it easier.
