Removing a swing arm Bolt

[jordanf1986]

ok guys my frame is warped so i am transfering my motor to a new frame, but the swinger bolt is being a real pain do you guys know any tricks to getting it out , THANX!

Let it soak in PB Blaster (preferably overnight), while you find a bigger hammer. If that doesn't work, you may have to cut it out.

how exactly do i cut it out?

[eastcoastpro20]

get the pressure off the swingarm and go to beatin it with a hammer

[blacknblue#2]

more than likely if its never been out you will prolly junk it. been there done that. Sometimes you get lucky. Most the time if its never been out and lubed you end up needing a new one

I had torch mine out the spacers between the motor and swing arm are the problem

[wckedclownz69]

best way is to try to heat it up...and if you are trying to save it make sure when beating on it you dont f up the threads.. if that doesn't work.. then cut it.. i used a cutting wheel..

pb blaster and an air hammer. worked for me.

i soaked it in WD-40, used an impact & air hammer, it looks like cutting is my only option right now, how exactly should i tackle it?

i took a hilti hammer drill to mine.have a buddy hold the bike still or tie it down and take a pointed chisel bit and big hilti hammer drill and it will come out much easier than cutting it out.

throw that can of WD-40 in the trash as its not going to help like PB blaster does. Blaster is the best for this situation. Just soak the ends and the spacers on the swinger. Use an impact gun on one side and spin the bolt, while on the otherside, hit the bolt with what ever you got. it takes time. But it will come.

Mine would not come out either. I started cutting between the inside of the frame and the outside of the swingarm, on both sides. Was then able to remove both ends of the bolt. Good luck!
