Removing swingarm XT600 1991
Hi all
I've been struggling the past day or two to get the rear swingarm off. The shock is gone, and I've removed the bolt for the linkage under the swingarm. The whole back end is removed except it. I've removed the 22mm nut but can't pull the bolt from the right hand side. Is it threaded on as well? It won't budge and I can only rotate it about a quarter turn with grips - I don't have a 22mm socket and the ring spanner doesn't fit.
Any ideas? I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I've tried with the swingarm raised, lowered and with support under either the engine and the frame. I've tried tapping it with a hammer. When the swingarm is raised and lowered by hand, the bolt rotates a small amount.
any suggestions grateful.
Cheers
jim.
