racer Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 so i was going to use a dye grinder to cut the head off!!!!! dont think thatll help much. from what i understand the bolts pretty much weld themselves into the swingarm Quote
philshee Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 You guys might also think of using liquid wrench the day, or night before. Lay the machine on its side and let the liquid wrench run down all around the bolt. It might help soften the rust some, and help the bolt slide out. Quote
Chris327 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Posted June 26, 2013 you can get liquid wrench at lowes... i'm having the same problem and have been smacking that SOB for like 2 1/2 hours now, but some french lady started yelling at me cause its 11:30... ill be back at it in the morning though and give it another hour or so... but that fucker is coming out or it will be meeting my cutting wheel Quote

WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Posted June 26, 2013 New member.......doing a search and not knowing posts are that old. Answer is still the same.........Hit it with your purse Sally! Quote
Jereme6655 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Posted June 26, 2013 /\ exactly what john said..... Im amazed I haven't heard anyone mention cutting it in the old thread. Buddy of mine just squeezed a sawzall blade in between the frame and the swingarm with the bike on its side and had it all taken care of in about 10 minutes. Quote

Kill 3 birds with one stone. #1 - quickly get's swingarm out. #2 - get all new bolt/shaft/ bearings #3 - drop that stupid heavy dumb stock swingarm in the scrap bin and jump into a light chromoly arm with the round Honda style carrier like EVERY new atv uses. Then sit back and enjoy NEVER dicking with the old factory design every time you need to adjust a chain or mess with gearing. Take pride in knowing you have removed one of the more major flaws in the stock Banshee design. Quote
