Chain Guide removal
So I fought this stupid thing for two days and finally got it with some input from many people.
I went to the hardware store and purchased a 6m x 75 bolt and an assortment of washers. I then placed a socket over the bolt with and assortment of washers and tightened it down (gotta make sure you have enough treads in before it starts tensioning the bolt). I used a 10mm ratcheting wrench so as not to apply too much torque too quickly. Once the bolt bottomed out on the washers I went slowly and applied pressure until it pulled the pin out of its seat. I then had to add washers and repeat the tightening of the bolt several times for it to com completely loose.
