front sproket removal

Post by Deviant400 »

jesus i cant shift that bloody bolt , im now worried that im gunna round the bastard off, 14ml socket just seems to be a tad to much play and the nearest imperial socket i have is just the same, i take it it's anti clockwise to remove it like all bolts in general, any tips on shifting this bugger , new chain and sprokets and id like to be able to do the lot and not have this nearly worn front one buggerin my new chain :evil:
