Hey guys,
I am trying to remove the swing arm but cant seem to get the bolt out. I got it moving but I cant tell if it is rusted in there or maybe has threads inside that Im stipping. It moves but not a lot and sounds like its grinding inside. Just thought Id throw it out there before I pull out the sledge...Any one pull that bolt out before? Im thinkin its just 29 years of neglect.
 
Thanks Betwrench. Worked great. The sleeve was riddled with rust and smashed/ground up bits of bearing....Where do you get your parts around here?
 
The sleeve will be a bit of a task to find. Mike's XS Canadian site may have one, but otherwise, it's to eBay for you.

Also, Lou Ranger has a parts bike. He should have the part, and I'm sure will offer you a good price. XS Chris is also a good source of parts.
