[QUOTE="wasted, post: 819247, member: 52598"] its funny this was posted, I just tried all afternoon to get the swingarm pivot bolt out of my brothers '90 RM125, I worked on that thing for HOURS and at the end was no nearing getting it out than I was when I started, I was even beating on the end of it with a maul and still couldnt get it to move... I tried everything... I even tried welding a bolt to the end and using it as a puller to help as I was beating on the other end, and I ended up breaking the weld... I finally noticed that I was starting spread the frame apart so I quit and got out the cutoff saw and just cut it between the frame rails and swingarm on both sides(there was just enough of a gap at both ends to get the blade in there without hitting anything else) I had already long destroyed the threaded end and figured that the $30 that a new bolt would cost was VERY cheap compared to the drama I was going through to get that thing out anyway... I've taken out many swingarm bolts before and had more than one that was terrible to get out, but this was the first one I've had that I actually had to cut out... [/QUOTE]
