What happens here
If the track tension bolt remains stubborn and grease is not releasing, you may need to apply pressure to the track. Use a pry bar to push the track inwards, creating leverage against the idler wheel. This external pressure can help force out the old, hardened grease. Once the grease begins to flow, it will be easier to further loosen the bolt. It's helpful to have a plastic bag positioned to catch the expelled grease, keeping the worksite clean. Fully remove the tension bolt if necessary to allow complete grease release.
Goal: Release stubborn track tension by applying leverage and collecting grease
