Good luck!
On a recent engine change it took us 4 hours to get the arm off. In the end we drilled it out, pushed the frame apart and let it drop with the engine still attached. I was warned not to apply heat as it damages the swing arm.
Good luck again!

All as above BUT!!!!! before you do anything undo the swing arm pivot bolt and remove the shaft grease it and slide it back in. It may be seized and take some getting out, it's much easier with the whole bike together.
The pained expression on the mans face who gave me that advice made me take notice.
The swing arm is captive in the frame witch needs springing open before you can remove it so you can draw the bolt with the wheel and suspension in Place.
I plan to do the same this winter, in fact I've already started.

The Biggest advantage of working on the swinging arm bolt before stripping bike is it helps if you run the bike upto temperature when attempting draw the b***er out. |
