[honda250sx]

Ronnie your work is ridiculous! This stuff is so well done. Very very impressive I don't know what to say........speechless.


Here is a little update on the teardown process.




This is my new dilema. The swingarm bolt would not come out. I literally cut the swingarm clear off of the trike. I then stripped it down and removed the engine. After cutting one of the sleeves that was rusted solid on the swingarm bolt I proceeded to try and tap it out of the engine cases. No go, wont budge one bit. Has anyone had this occur before? How did you remove it? Press?

[Tri-ZNate]

My Z wanted bling BAD so everything slid out nice . Usually you can heat up the nut/bolt but I dunno about being that close to the engine

[honda250sx]

Wheeliepop, I am worried about heating that aluminum something fierce. I am thinking cut the other end off and machine a fixture to press out the swingarm bolt out of the cases.

[Bryan Raffa]

heat the steel incerts and use a press.. get the motor tore apart as mutch as you can ..it will be easyer to handle in the press

[NINJA]

That's your best bet, that and alot of PB Blaster!

[honda250sx]

I will have to see what i can do. Raffa I will need them trips from you. I can shoot out a money order after the holidays. Sound cool? PM me an address bro.
