Motorcycle Repair: Swing Arm Bolt Removal, bolt removal, swing arm


Question
I am trying to remove the swing arm bolt in my 1989 Harley FLHTC.  I have tried heating, beating and PB Blast.  Any other ideas?  Am I missing something?

Answer
Once you have the weight off the swing arem it should just slide out when you remove the nuts. It sounds like it is frozen in the bushings. Let it soak for a day with some oil on it and try it again. it it wont come out then it would have to be pressed out
Good luck and happy riding
