No worries, Benno
We were all "Newbies" at some stage.
It's much better for a newcomer to ask for advise about something they're not sure about, than to maybe just dive in and maybe make an expensive mistake.
As you've probably gathered by now, these bikes are a bit different to your average Kwaka or Suzuki of the same era.

Guys, thank you very much for your help.

I think it's absolutely fantastic that people I have never met are so willing to help a beginner like myself, just because I am a member of a club and share a common interest in old but classic motorbikes.

I did read a complaint not long ago regarding the website and its cheesy tags like "Hero member". For my feedback, I love the website, it is user friendly, informative and I check it and enjoy it every day. As for the cheesy tags and the like, they are good fun.

Thanks again and keep up the good work.

here's what they look like, mate



It's just a stepped bolt that does require undoing once the nut is removed from the back of it

if its any thing like the side stand on the slabby  bolt is threaded through the metal tag and the nut is there as extra back up like previously mentioned screwed in

 update
 had a look at the metal tag where the side stand used to be and it's threaded

Can't be certain, but there maybe a possibility that you'll have to still undo the bolt, like unscrew it like a normal bolt as the lug its in might be threaded similar to the way the bolt for the clutch lever is screwed in and lock nutted
Otherwise, have you removed the return spring? if not it will be putting tension on the bolt making it feel firm and hard to push out.

I have been trying to remove the kick stand from my RH (I heard the cringe of many members at the mention of an RH from here in Perth). I have removed the outside nut, but cannot budge the bolt. Does anyone know if the bolt is a taper lock, has a spline or is threaded itself? I don't want to put too much of the wrong force on it in case it shears off.
