xt600e swing arm pivot bolt
hi
i know this subject isent new but as there are different variables its maybe worth the ask
the swing arm pivot bolt is stuck fast, it basically wont smack out, as its maintenence time for my xt as its the workhorse for me, (i have an xjr 1200 for this time of year,) chain and sprockets were required, good time to take swing arm off, all easy until the dreaded bolt, the nut is now off, the bolt does turn round and round so is not seized on either frame or engine block, i would say its seized to either or both pivots inside, the swing arm does go up and down fairly smoothly with no play, though i would imagine the needle rollers will be as dry as a bone as it probably hasent been touched since new,
why did yamaha not put grease nipples on the 4pt model.
is it a case of leave well alone and spray the gaps to see if any gets in over time
or drill it out from either end and that will be hard to do.
i do have another swing arm with a good pivot bolt to hand just incase, this one is off an older model with grease nipples
anybody come across this variable before and if so what did you do
regards to all
