| Swing Arm removal Alright technical types. I'm resurrecting an older 748 & need to take the swinging arm off. Previous owner ran the bike with the eccentric 180deg out & I think the chains been gnawing at the arm. It's also incredibly manky & I get perverse joy from digging about in all the goo that accumulates behind front sprocket. Removal of the bolt from the RHS was easy enough but the spindle cum sleeve with the big Allen head was seized. Application of a monster lever got it turning but no way can I get it to move sideways. I assume it's stuck in the bearings. Short of assaulting it with a big hammer & drift or slinging half a bike in the back of the car & heading for the engineering shop does anyone have any ideas ? Help ! Robbie   |
