Bansh-eman Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 yea this is not uncommon by any mans, if you dont keep that thing gresed up it will lock up. if you have tried all of those things the last ditch effort is to cut it off between the swinger and frame. Quote

Anyone!!! thanx yes ,the pivot bolt is seized in the bearing tube so take a cut off wheel and saw the fucker off /if you are careful and cut on the veryedge of the cup you wont damage anything you didnt have to/be sure to use jack stands and support everything that needs to be/not taking a shot at your skill level or common sense but this country is full dumb fucks/use a lot of anti-seize on bolt when installing Quote

bbcmudtruck Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 Try a bigger hammer, 10-12lb sledge. Quote
LiftdT4R Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 Yea if yoo dont keep that sucker lubed it's not going to come out. LOL I cut mine off, but it worked out ok because I was replacing it anyway. You should be able to pick up a stock swinger cheap used if thats what you have to do. Otherwise, try using a big brass bunch, and a big sledge and just pound the hell out of it. A little heat won't hurt either. Quote
Michael Jackson Posted July 27, 2008 Report Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) swingarm and carrier bearings get eatin pretty fast if you are beatin the shit out it on rough terrain, you can get the world wide or all balls ones from rockymountain for pretty damn cheap, instead of buying the whole pivot works kit everytime, Edited July 27, 2008 by Michael Jackson Quote
