My swingarm bolt is frozen. I've tried to heat it, beat it,and curse it. Nothing seems to help. Any ideas?
Thanks
Brandon

I had the same problem with my 350X. I took it to a machine shop and they used a hydraulic press to get it out.

Get the old bandsaw out and cut the bolt between the motor monut bracket. I just did mine and replaced the bolt The bolt cost is $58 so hold on to the nut it will save you so money and you will also need new bushings because i m sure thay are locked to the swingarm bolt

I had this happen to me on a banshee try using WD40 and spraying in into the sides of the bolt, use a large hammer and hit it on the threaded side of the bolt, if it moves slightly spray WD40 into that crack then hit it back in the other direction, keep doing this back and forth and applying WD40, it took me a few hours but it did come out.
