cegan09 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I have to be missing something. The rod/axle/whatever you want to call it that the swing arm rotates on will not move. I'm supposed to take the frame for powder coat today, and i need this off. thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkwindjammer Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 The shaft has more than likely seized to one or both of the bearings, put the nut back on the end a couple of turns and then give it a good old wallop with a soft faced hammer, or use a piece of timber to protect the nut from damage. use lashings of WD40 on it, (I've posted a thread on how to make your own) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cegan09 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 The trick was a bigger hammer. and bracing the frame against something solid so all the force went into removing the bolt. Need a new pivot bolt. Not only is the threaded end a little banged up, but the shaft itself is not in good shape. I'll probably do the conversion to needle bearings instead of bushings.
