Default 2003 polaris predator swing arm bolt

I mistakenly drove the swing arm pivot bolt all the way out during engine removal. I now see the manual says not to do this.... How do I get the swing arm back in alignment to install the bolt? It seems like the shock is now fighting me. My bad on this one.

You have to unbolt the shock bottom for wiggle room and have someone help(if needed) to help realign the washers,etc when you reinstall the pivot bolt. Look here under "swing arm" on your model.Browse OPT
