| It sounds like you need a bigger hammer it should come out, they do get pretty tight and make sure to leave the nut flush with the end of the bolt and remove after it loosens to protect the thread. |

you are in trouble
your roller bearings have rusted themselves to the sleeve in turn has rusted to the bolt
try soaking it for a day or so in crc
belt it with a sledge hammer
then try heating with an oxy
if all fails you have to hacksaw the bolt in two places so you can remove the swingarm..
I have done many and it will take you a while. _________________ OH "profanity removed" I SAID "profanity removed".......OH "profanity removed" I SAID "profanity removed" |
