Hi

My swingarm linkage bearings are in dire need of replacement. While removing the linkage, I ran into a problem.

The long bolt mounting the swingarm linkage to the frame has seized. (Thus the reason for the replacement  :-[) I removed the nut without to much effort but the bolt seems pretty stuck in place. I can turn the bolt but it will not move out.  :xxbah:

I have sprayed more than enough Q20 over the last two days to try and loosen the bolt. I do not have any direct access to the bolt in order to moer it with a hammer.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a specific tool that the workshops would use for this? Does anyone have a clamp or some other tool that could assist here?

Please help, I am at breaking point with this bolt  :mad:
