Be
bluddy carefull with the swingarm bolt Steve.
It will need a fair bit of persuasion (9 out of 10 Dukes prefer to be tight barstewards). It might seem ok to use a 'drift' to hammer like buggery on the bolt but you can 'flare' the threaded end of the bolt (errrrmmm...like I did
Doh!!! ) which makes it impossible to get back in or get the locking nut on once it is back in.
Go steady and be patient. It can take an age to get free. From now on I'll be removing mine each winter to polish and grease it up so's removal isn't such a chore.
