TOPIC:

Does anybody have a suggestion for removing the pivot shaft from the swingarm? Mine seems to be welded, and I want to paint the frame and replace those bearings......

put a breaker bar on the bolt after you remove the nut if the bolt will spin find a piece of 1/2-5/8" rod and use it to pound the bolt out.do not use 1/2" drive extension the square end will get stuck in swingarm bushing,dont ask me how i know! goodluck,happy wrenching!
