Neither I nor anybody else that I talked to knew what a drift punch was when I took the piviot bolt out of my X. I just got a really long punch had somebody hold it and used a 13lbs sledge hammer (BFH) and beat the $hit out of it. Worked great! That and a liberal amount of WD40 do wonders.

well i bought an 88 R and the guy i bought it off of never took the swingarm off and it was frozen in there soo bad that i8 just cut it up. it was all i could do. i just recently took mine out that had been sitting in there for about a season and it took a little bit of pounding until i could get the head of the bolt far enough out so that could put a wrench in front of the head and hit the wrench with a hammer to kind of pull it out. and dont go cheap on the lube. i recommend; blaster, LPS, 711 or just wd40(in order from stongest to weakest)have fun also but dont damage the bolt cuz thats $60

i just did that last year. air hammer is the only way. i tried press. bent tabs. tried impact eventually bolt stoppped turning. i had to grind off bolt end and remove whole swingarm. then cut between motormount and swingarm then get bolt pressed out of motormount. i used helm enterprise replacement.
