Remove Upper A-Arms on YFZ 450

[spencer2986]

Ok this is probably just an easy answer BUT i can't seem to get the 2 top bolts out of my upper A-Arm. Its almost as if they are stuck, i have all the nuts off and everything and tried to pull the long bolt out but it wont budge. It does turn freely when i have a socket on it but im lost right now as far as getting those 2 bolts through. Any help would be HIGHLY appreciated. Thanks Chris

screw the nut back on enough to keep the threads from getting chuckied. Get a hammer and give it a love tap.:mad: not to much though dont mess up the threads.

Yea i had kinda did that but still its pretty much stuck, i bought i used not to long ago and i assume that it hasnt been greased in a while and it seized to the bushings inside. I may end up just cutting out the bolt, i already have 2 that i can replace the old ones so i mean its not that big of a deal. Thanks for the info.

the bolt probably rusted to the metal sleeve that it runs through. I have needed to cut that bolt to get it out before.

well it turns freely it just wont pull out for the life of me

We had to use a big hammer haha and used a bearing puller. Mine has rusted into the sleave.

yeah, it spins freely when it's rusted together because the sleeve turns inside the bushings. Mine acted the exact same way, spinning but didn't want to come out.
