Does anyone have a trick for getting out frozen shafts in the rear suspension.The front shaft came out because it was metal but the rear shaft is aluminum inside.

Put the bolt back in, grab a punch, and hit the bolt. If that doesn't work, the shaft is bent (common w/ sport, and liquifire rear arms), and they're damn near impossible to get out. If you do manage to remove the inner shaft, mount a grease zerk to both outer ones to keep them moving freely.
