i have a trx450 and i just bought a new swingarm but i just cant get the bolt off to slide out the axel. does anyone know how they got theirs out or if they had to take it to a shop? Thanks for any info possible.

 

it might be better to take it to the shop to get the bolt off.

 

You mean you can't get the nut off the bolt? Can't turn it or it is stripped?

 

Turn the skinny jam nut toward the swing arm. Then turn the big nut the same way. Under the big nut is a snap ring, remove the snap ring. Once that is done the collar and 2 nuts slide off the axle.


What lenght arm did you get?

 

It's nice to have a shop manuel, huh?

 

You prolly need that back, huh?

 

I must have zoned out. I didn't notice he was talking about the axle. I am so used to people not being able to get the swingarm bolt out. I was surprised in thinking he couldn't even get the nut off.

For the other nuts, loosening them is putting a wrench on from the back of the quad and pushing downward.
