put a wrench or socket wrench on the bolt head and get a piece of pipe to break it loose by turning it. if you can get the bolt to turn inside the swing arm and engine it will be possiable to get out. then start pounding at it. make sure you use a softer metal than the bolt itsself. alum, a brass slug....
btw i find it easier to unhook the shock and let the quad sit flat on the ground

my kfx had to replace the stock swing arm bearing last year and that how i got it out. 2003 kfx btw. when it moves a little bit out spray wd40 on it and hit it back in a little bit then pry it back out.

and that how i just got my 08 ltr swing arm bolt out for the first i owned it (bought it march 08) just did it today...

you can get it, and when u take the shock of and let the quad sit flat it takes strain off the bolt making it easier.

but you can cut it and spend more money

I had to get a diamond sawzall blade and i just cut mine out. alot of people say spray it with PB blaster well the truth is , it dont work for sh*t i sprayed it with that stuff for a week and it still didnt move just cut in out and get the bearings and hardware from rockymountainatv.com cost me about 50 bucks fro everything
