Has any one ever removed a swingarm from a 400 sport. Looks to be alot of work and Iam in need of some big tools.

 

Its no big deal, get yourself the correct size wrench and/or socket, loosin it up, take the big bolt thing's out and pull it out the back.

 

Like Ron said, no big deal. You can do it in an afternoon. Get yourself a service manual, it's easy step by step. I know the concentric drive units use a 1 3/4" socket, red loctite. You'll need to pull both clutches to get the back of the clutch cover off...plus some axle info. Like I said, get a service manual, and save yourself a ton of time and problems.

the only special tool you will need is a clutch puller and you can get them for around $20.Just pull the belt housing off and the rear brake and it is right there no problem.you need to take the tires off though and you may need to drill out the rivets on the chain guide and put it back on with screws.

 

If your machine is concentric drive (rear brake on the axle) you don't need to pull the brake.

modquad,

I believe you would have to pull the brake caliper........were you referring to the rotor maybe?? You will also have to remove the lower shock mount bolt. If you have the right tools, you should be able to do this in less than 2 hours.
