To loosen really tight bolts, first apply penetrating oil to the bolt and let it sit for several minutes to help break down rust or corrosion. Use a wrench or socket that fits snugly to avoid stripping the bolt head. If it still won't budge, try applying heat with a torch to expand the metal or use a breaker bar for added leverage. Tapping the bolt gently with a hammer can also help to break the bond.

How do you tighten the chain on a 2001 Kawasaki Lakota Sport?

You will need to loosen the clamp bolts on both sides of the rear axle. To do this you will need to first loosen the jam nuts underneath and then loosen the bolts. After this you also need to loosen the bolt above the caliper. You don't need to pull this off, just loosen it so it will be allowed to pivot. Once you've loosened all of these, you can stick a large screwdriver through the slot in the middle of the rear axle housing and turn it until the chain is tight.
