[QUOTE="snowflake, post: 172475, member: 152"] So like I was saying, my swingarm pivot bolt was stuck, I beat on it with a hammer hard yesterday and it didn't move. I went home, thought it over :smashpc: and got an idea thats probably nothing new to most members here. I took a piece of 3/8th's all thread, fed it through the pivot bolt, put a nut on the nut side of the bolt, then took a piece of pipe big enough to house the entire bolt and a washer to fit the pipe (initially I used a big impact socket), tightened it up against the frame as tight as I could, moved to the other side, whacked it with a hammer, it moved very slowly. 2 hours later, I got it all the way out, between tightening my make shift puller and hitting the shit out of it with a hammer, much preferable to cutting it or even heating it imo.
