But yeh, the TRE you can leave in, I replaced mine anywho

Didnt mean the droplinks ginge, i meant the main suspension shaft that you said turns when trying to tighten/ loosen the top nut.
I know what ya mean about the droplinks, pain in the arse.

Patience is key with sezied nuts/ bolts. Plenty of wd40, small movements both loosening and tightening to clear the threads and dont try and undo it all in the one go as the metal tends to heat and possibly shear the nut/ bolts. Even then the bloody things can round off.
