Post by: runutz698 on March 19, 2009, 02:47:59 pm: It would make a fine resto, if you are really worried about it I can take it off your hands. As far the swing arm bolt the answer is in the name "SWING" a heavy object thus being a hammer with a punch and away you go.

Post by: shorelinemc on March 19, 2009, 06:16:44 pm: Pay attention here is the lesson on removing the swingarm bolt ( this is method 2 as the frame wont fit under my press) step 1get esky,step 2 fill esky with ice step 3 put at least a 6pack in step 4 whilst the beer is cooling down go to hardware shop and buy 4 good quality hack saw blades and a milk crate if you don`t already have one ,tho all good dirt bike owners should have at least three spare at all times step 5 open beer step 6 fit new hack saw blades step 7 intake of 1st beer and then start cutting, enjoy. when the swingarm axle has been cut off both ends you then press the remander out

Post by: steve234 on March 19, 2009, 06:41:20 pm: Thanks Shoreline........this process will obviously require technical help via numerous onlookers armed with cold beer.

Post by: GMC on March 19, 2009, 09:30:32 pm: Shoreline nailed it pretty good except for a few errors ;D
# Replace beers with a cans of Bourbon
# Replace hacksaw with 5" grinder & thin blades.

Another helpful trick is to place a bottle jack inbetween the frame rails to slightly pry open enough room for either hacksaw blade or grinder disc to fit through.
Just spread slightly & it will flex back

And be careful when putting parts in a press, I have had to repair a few frames that had the swingarm pivot gussets on the frame crushed from too much force.

Sorry Shoreline, I will try to keep quit about trade secrets in future ;D

If trying to press the bolt out keep an eye on where the movement is happening so it doesn't end up ike this. I have seen a few frames damaged like this over the years.
