[honda-chick-166]

hey i need help with my bike i was driving it the other day and my rear-end is loose the axle is tight do you guys think it might be swingarm bearings? Is it hard to take it swingarm off?

welcome to the forum

welcome all i can say for the swingarm bolt take the nut off and try hitting the bolt with a rubber mallet or a piece of wood and a steel mallet. If it don't move then it is frozen in there so now try something like pb blaster or release all and heat the bolt up and squirt that stuff on it. If you have access to a impact gun try and put that on the bolt and see if that spins it if it does your getting a little closer to getting it out. While spinning the bolt get a friend to hit the other side of the bolt with the mallet. Repeat those steps til it comes out if that don't work try cutting it off with a precison saw or take it to a metal shop they should be able to help you. Good luck :D

[tyman2395]

She's here, isn't she ???
The infection has already begun.
There's no hope now, there's no turning back.
It's terminal , and there is no cure.
She'll simply have to learn to live with it, and succumb to the symptoms.

Welcome Honda-Chick.

Welcome to the forum. This is the best one around for wheeling info. If everything is tightened up I would say it needs bearings. Especially if it starts to grind and clunk. Great to see more ladies riding!!!!! See you around, Steve

I cant be an addict I dont have the money lol

[honda400ex2003]

agreed ^^^^ I'm broke too!!! It sucks being a college kid taking mechanical engineering, that only works in the summer. Can't be an addict!!! Steve
