I have to remove my swingarm, on a '86 LT250R broke axle hub clamps on the swingarm. Anyway I have everything off except the pivot pin. What's the trick to get that damn thing out of there.... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] I doesn't turn or anything. I have taken off the nut and tried to tap it with a hammer but it don't budge. I appreciate any help.

Thanks
Mike

 

A trick to getin the pivot bolt out is u screw the nut on the thread just enough not sung just so it threads on and hit it with the end of a wooden hammer wood is softer that metal so it wont wreak it when it starts to slide a little then its loose enough to hit it with a really long punch in the center so u dont wrec the threads, cuz that would really suc, what ever u do dont hit the threads

hope this helps [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I had the same problem with my zilla.. I used a long punch and had to beat the hell out of it....i ended up having to get a new bolt........it cost about 35$ to replace. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Do exactly what f250r said. Good luck
