G-MC Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Can someone please help...I've got my shee tore down in a thousand pieces but I can't get the pivot bolt that connects the swingarm to the frame out. I've tried everything including beating it with a hammer until I can't swing it anymore! It will only move about a quarter inch. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Quote
cb67rs1 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 get a BFH, or a BIGGER BFH!!! your goign to need a new bolt anyways if its stuck in there, or cut it and remove the swinger and knock it out Quote
G-MC Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Posted November 14, 2005 I tried the BiggestFH I could get my hands on, but great idea about cutting! I'm on my way to pick up a sawzall. Thanks for the advice. Quote
420 RACING Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 If you have a compressor, get an air hammer and blow it out. I've been down that road before. You will be able to get it out one way or the other. Good luck Quote
Wicked98Shee Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 a 16lb BFH and a peice of sucker rod is the ticket lol Quote
BansheeBoy17 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 I had to sawsall mine out as well - pain in the ass. Quote
FASTOYS Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 Air hammer works decent sometimes with some PB penetrant as the constant vibration helps it come out better than with a BF hammer. The other alternative is a sawzall and reach up in there and cut it out. It sucks but sometimes has to be done! Good luck! Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 I had to use the BFH, and we put an impact on the other side so it would virbrate and rotate as we hammered on it. Once it was out we had to clean up the bolt with some sandpaper because of the corrosion. When you put it back together use a shit load of nickel grease. Quote
99Banshee Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 (edited) Heat it up with a torch then hammer it out...no need to cut anything. Edited November 15, 2005 by 99Banshee Quote
G-MC Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Posted November 16, 2005 I tried the impact/hammer and torch/hammer technique and it still wouln't come out! I went and bought a sawzall and that bolt was out like a fat chick playin dodge ball! Thanks for all the advice fellas! Quote
99Banshee Posted November 16, 2005 Report Posted November 16, 2005 glad you got it out gl on your project Quote
98bonerSTOCKshee Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 damn I am going through the same shit... F'n 8# hammer just won't do it... We heated the bolt no luck... I finnally knock it as far as possible, figured I could grind the head down, then knocked it back in, and grinded the other side as much as possible, I can't quit get enough off of either side for the swinger to drop out... Where actually is the saws all beging used? Is it between the frame and swinger? Quote
FASTOYS Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Might try a GOOD air hammer first but yes between the frame and swinger for the saw. No fun for sure. Quote
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Mine was locked solid, I hammered, mauled, air hammered and got nothing but about 1/2" total movement till it was completely locked. Got out the torch heated that bolt up on the ends and blew the molten bolt ends out. Swinger pulled right out once the ends of the bolt were gone. Quote
WALLACE84 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) I regrease the bolt on my shee about every 6 months just because I like too. Also when I was taking apart my 85 cr250 I had to cut the swingarm bolt too because there was no other way it would come out Edited February 15, 2006 by WALLACE84 Quote
