I am getting ready to remove and grease my 300ex swingarm bolt. It is an older machine and to the best of my knowlage has never been removed or greased. I am guessing that it is stuck so I am planning for the worse. I have heard of some people cutting the bolt, but on a 300ex the tube where it goes through the swingarm is solid, so it couldnt be cut. I was just wondering if anybody had any tips or advice. Thanks in advance!!!

when your trying to remove it and it seems stuck, try turning it with the wrench as you pull it out. If it doesn come out, spary some wd-40, and get another bolt or something the same size and hit it out from the other side, be careful u dont mess up the bolt.

Also u might need to wiggle the wheels up/down, side/side as your doin it.
