And if I didn't try some Liquid Wrench or PB Blaster, I'd be surprised (I worked on mine last summer so I'm a little unclear on exactly what I tried). I'll give it another try. Too bad Suntour didn't use a hex wrench inside the mounting post. Are you certain about it coming out via Lefty Loosey?
Oh definitely, the female hex bolt that holds the derailleur onto the clamp is standard threaded, so if the post were threaded into the band backwards it wouldn't work.
