Should have the info you want...

Basically Backup the DB.. Then shrink your log file..|||1. backup log with truncate_only
2. dbcc shrinkfile 'logfile'

also u can deattach the database - delete the transaction log file - attach back the database.
Remember, always take a backup before deattaching the database.
