kawa110 Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Looks like your binding up on the pivot bolt. Need to get some lube on there to slide. If your frame is “pinched” from when the bolt was tightened then the frame is pulling in on the bolt and causing it to bind. If you have a way to slightly push both sides of frame out(bottle jack) it should be easier. Buy a new bolt and and a BiggerFH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MXSHEE01 Posted May 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks what’s a biggerFH?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camp0429 Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 The spacer inside could be siezed to the bolt also. Even though the bolt will spin it wont push out. If thats the case, best way I have found is cut the bolt with sawzall/hacksaw between frame and swingarm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special06shee Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Big hammer and a 1/2” brass punch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Stand the bike up on the grab bar. Find the thinnest sawzall metal blade you can and just cut between the caps and frame from the underside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mike NY Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 I’ve always had succes driving the most bitch stubborn seized up pivot bolts out with an air chisel. Lube up the bolt and set the chisel in the center hole of the pivot bolt and drive that fucker out. The percussion of the pneumatic chisel is what’s going to drive the bolt out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusto Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 If the spacer is seized inside it’s like it’s damn near welded. I couldn’t get mine out even after days of soaking and a sledge hammer. use a sawzall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2otoofast4u Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Sawzall the entire mess out and deposit in a scrap bin. Buy new kit, round house arm/carrier, grease, install, get back on HQ and thank N2O for the best advice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
