As Nelly says...the real sod is the swingarm bolt...I guess its possible to test if its gonna budge before you start? Save you stripping the bike down, only to get stuck with the bolt and having to put it all back together again a beaten man!??

Mine wouldn't, so I left the engine in the frame and just removed everything else!
