Post subject: | help with swingarm removal |
I had the dreaded sprocket nut backout and now have to remove the swingarm to have it repaired. So, I have the pivot nut off but can't back the pivot bolt out. I have the shock disattached, the wheel out and brake removed, will get to the exhaust that's threaded through the swingarm (any suggestions- whole exhaust off or just that piece- which is easier?) BUT: Can't get the pivot bolt out. Doesnt seem to be any kind of locking washer or C-clip or anything and brute force (small mallet with a hardened steel drift) is getting uncomfortably loud. Aluminum engine cases suggest not too much force... Any ideas? Did I miss something obvious? Thanks for any help / support. Sheldon |

Sheldon , I had to beat my pivot bolt out with a BF hammer . It had rust seized into the bush on the sprocket side ( see pic ). I wound up lying the bike on its right side , support frame around pivot area ( lumps of fire wood ) , and bashed her out ................all the time worrying about hidden circlips ( there are none ) This is a spare swing arm assy I have , but that bush sitting on the arm goes into the needle rollers you can see and the pivot bolt goes thru that. Heaps of CRC WD40 , you cant even get a bit of heat onto it either ..... be patient ![]() Hamish |
