Been trying to remove my swingarm, but I can't get the bolt to budge. Been spraying it with generous amounts of PB Blaster but it won't budge. I even tryed the BMF. Anyone have some tips for me? Have to remove the rear end so I can get the dam trike in the basement for a rebuild. Thanks.....Matt

I keep a 3 foot piece of 1" gas pipe around(beat into an oval on one end to fit wrenches better) for that purpose... leverage fixes almost anything

these seize in there the nut isn't the problem. Impact seems to work good for some 2 hammers and yes be careful and tape both hammers up. Put a 3# on the end of the bolt and hit with a 15#. I also had to cut mine and get a new one

I heated up both ends a bit and it came out. Can't believe I didn't think of heating it up in the first place.

Grease the crap out of it when putting it back together, and take it out and grease it regularly in the future.
