swingarm pivot bolt

cant get it out, where do i need to cut it

[hondaman440ex]

Don't cut it, did you get the nut off? I used a punch and a hammer and took my time and it came out no problem, nothing is wrong with it at all.

x2 just take a roll punch and whack that sob out of there.

[j450rking]

yeah just keep at it with a hammer and punch and you will get it.

and then do this

might wanna make sure the swing arm is unloaded some. it'll make it easier to come out.

[REDRIDDER]

this is what i did after removing mine its easy and you can do it at home cheap.

also if you strip the threads on the nut and need a quick fix you can drill a hole in the swingarm bolt and put a cotter pin in the hole and the bolt wont slide out :D

i dont think mine will come out, iv done it all hit with punch and 20lbs sledge hammer and nothing works been sparying wd-40 on it for the pass 3 weeks and hitting and still it hasnt moved so i think im gonna have to cut it

i had this problem. i did the sledge even tiped it on its side and sprayed penetrating oil down in it for a week and still wouldnt move i ended up haveing to cut my swingarm off then get teh accetlyen torch out and cut the bold in 4 places and heat it all up cherry red to get it to pound otu with a sledge and punch. not fun at all. i recomend going to the local auto parts store and asking them for anti seize grease. i got some napa anti seize grease for like 9 bux. when you put your new bolt in coat everything but the threads in anti seize grease. then slide it through. reason i say not on the threads is because it will let the self locking nut come off with the vibration.

You need to use a penetrating oil not wd-40
