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.
