Sounds like someone may need a new swinger. J/P

Try putting some heat to it... or a BFH!

take the pivot bolt and use that to knock the screwdriver out.

It's the huge bolt that holds your swingarm on.

Sorry man. I'm not sure which tube???

As far as getting the screw driver out, set yourself up a little slide hammer setup, where you can wrap some weight around the screwdriver and slide it back into the head of the screwdriver.

Getting the tube out is going to be a much bigger job. By the sounds of it you seized the bearings and depending on how long it has been like this, the bearings can actually weld themselves to the tube. Try hitting an impact socket or something into the tube where you can smack on the whole dia. May have to use some heat if it is really stubborn. If your bearings are as bad as I think they may be and you don't have a bearing puller, you may have to cut them out. If your very carefull you can slice the bearing and brake it in two inside the s-arm to pull them out. This is not an easy job though. Hopefully you'll remeber that when you don't want to grease your bearings next time. If you keep that clean and lubricated you'll never have this problem again.

Hope that helps
