cant get swing Arm bolt out

[QuadJunkies]

Any hepleful tips and tricks on getting the Swing Arm bolt out of my 400ex swinger?? What a pain in the butt!! :cuss: the sucka wont BUDGE!

[400exrider707]

let it soak for a day or so with some PB blaster, then using an air impact turn the bolt while your friend simultaneously nails on it with a huge sledge hammer, and then if that doesn't work, which it probably wont, your going to have to cut it out, and then greasing your swingarm bolt will move to the top of your maintenance list!

Squirt it down with aerokroil, wait a few minutes, then beat it out.

after soaking it if you didn't have any luck, put an air impact on it and have some one spinning it while someone else pounds on it with a hammer from the other side. Thats how mine finally came out :devil: if all else fails break out the red wrench, good luck!

Thats how I got my first one out-a big 3/4 drive air gun and a great big hammer.

when you reinstall it, slather some high quality Anti-Seize compound on it so next time won't be so bad

We ended up having to cut it , it wasnt going anywhere... :ermm:

Been there. Since then I've always put at least a layer of lithium grease on any pivot bolt.

It's so hard to let go and decide to chop it. Then you wonder why you didn't just go ahead and do it earlier.
