philcbr Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Hi all Tried to remove the shaft securing the swingarm to the frame today, no joy, seems stuck solid. I have recently purchased the bike which was restored some years ago but not used since then, the swingarm has been re-chromed so I'm supprised the retaining shaft did not come out easily ? Any thoughts and tips on removing the shaft will be most appreciated. Regards Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcman56 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I had a Fantic 80 with a swingarm pivot shaft that would not come out. I tried heat and anti rust solvents but in the end had to resort to a hydraulic press. As I remember the pivot inner races had rusted to the shaft. The rest of the bike was rust free.
