swing arm problem

[bunboy1]

hi all,

 

i recently purchased a chain slider set made by modquad, from rocky mountain. i am trying to replace the front slider, buy removing the main pivot bolt from the swing arm. the problem is, i can t get the damn bolt out!!! it spins freely but it wont slide out. the shock is out and the bottom dog bone is removed. i tried banging on one side with a hammer and pulling on the other with vise grips. i am pretty much tapped out, any advice would be helpful, thanks.

Tap it out with a long punch.

it very well could be seized on the bearings. try using some wd-40 or another lubricant over night to see if itll loosen up. otherwise, you may be forced to beat it out with a BFH. there are away of doing it without damaging the threads on the pivot bolt, but if its seized too bad you might end up having to buy another one.
