hello fellas,
i removed the swing arm today and shock,theres one bolt ,i got the nut off,the bolt spins freely,it will NOT come out,its the one that bolts the bracket on to the frame,the other end of the bracket is bolted to the shock,and then the dog bones onto the swing arm,it just wont come out,is it not suppose to come out?

It should come out....................I seem to remember that with my Mircon exhaust that particular bolt fouls on the exhaust and wont come out.

Ignoring that it most definately should come out....................might be siezed onto the bush...................hit it with something

It is supposed to come out but it sounds like it is seized against the inside of the roller bearing in the shock linkage. Sounds like the application of some wd40 overnight and then gentle tapping - although TBH it doesnt need to be that gentle as it is likely that the shock linkage bearing is u/s

Bush - that was the word i was looking for - how could I forget that

ok il try that.thanks

If you've got a decent G clamp you could put a socket over the head of the bolt and try pressing it out.
