swingarm bolt

[steveatv3]

i cant seem to remove the swingarm bolt from the quad, i got the nut off the right side but the bolt doesnt budge or turn

how can i solve this i used lubricants and such

[duncan440ex]

use a torch. my swingarm bolt in my ex seized in the frame. it took like 10 minutes of heat and pounding to get it out. took the 450r apart ang greased every bolt in the suspension so it won't happen agian.

That is a last resort the torch and plasma,keep trying,get someone to turn the pivot bolt while you hit it with a hammer,but put the nut on a lil bit so you dont mess up the threads

Hey at first make sure there is no pressure on the swingarm or shock then just tap it out with a punch and a hammer should come out fine

i have the rear shock off of it and the swingarm resting on a tire

Did you use a long pipe as a breaker? If not try that to get it to spin.

it took me 9 nights and 3 full days. i tried everything and ended up drilling out bolth sides to inside the frame then hanging the rear from the ceiling and using a ginding wheel i cut through next to the engine, a little at a time then turned the bolt with the drill and cut a little more :mad: it took 3 hrs. to do this but every thing else failed. i hope you don't have to go this far. use an imact to get the bolt to spin and soke it with pen.oil. remember the piece u see is the bearing race that goes over the bolt. this is what seises to the bolt not letting it come out . GOOD LUCK:macho
