Can anyone give me some advice for removing the swingarm pivot axle? I have everything ready to replace the bearing, but can't get the axle out. I'm not talking about the main axle bearings. Those are already done. Please help. I would like to get my 200x back on its wheels soon.

Thanks:confused:

Can you get the bolt to turn at all?. I assume that you have the nut off of it and just cant get the bolt out. You can try putting the nut back on a few turns and tapping on the end of the bolt. And see if you can start to get it to move at all. Then try soaking it all down with penitraiting oil. Like wd40 or jb80 and just keep working the bolt trying to turn it and moving it back and forth until you can get enought oil inside the bearing to loosen up the bolt. And if you keep at it you should be able to work the bolt loose. And then have to pound the old roller bearings out of the frame. Its not a fun job but it can be done.
