916 swingarm pivot shaft removal

Hi guys

Has anyone got an easy way to remove the pivot shaft as mine seems to be seized?

I have removed the bolt from the right hand side of the bike but can't budge the shaft. The Haynes Manual says 'withdraw pivot shaft from left hand side' easy to say but not to do!

Does anything unscrew with an allen key on the left of the shaft or is it possible to drift the rod out from the right side? I have tried this tentatively but nothing seems to be moving.

As you probably can tell this is a job I havn't done before

Any tips
