Folks, After a good chuckle, let me clarify this is NOT of the sexual pursuit. But something you might expect to see in Fred's on-line catalog. But thanks for the laugh!

I am researching material choice for a consumer product that has the latter 3 factors directly influential to its success and presumably will be produced using a liquid injection process. I am not an engineer & this product is very low-tech so I don't expect to have 'Stephan Hawking' level discussions. Just looking for some suggestions on material choices...

engine suspentiuon bolts...

i just picked up a project bike and job one on this 88 klr is engine removal.. and since i HAVE to remove the engine you have to know the two main bolts are seized in place.. after spraying moovit and other penatrating oils for a few days still no go with a big hammer.. any hints on how to free those bearing riders from the bolts? (bearing sleeves or whatever they are called for the suspension bearing) is it time to buy a really big hammer or find someone with an air hammer? or should i just spend a few days and cut the bolts 6 or 9 times and buy new stuff when i can get to the big city??? nutz projects bikes are fun... working on them in small towns are not.
