Tips to remove rear swingarm?
« on: April 26, 2009, 07:19:39 PM »
Im rebuilding a buddies yfz, and trying to take the engine out.

Im having alot of trouble getting the bolt out that goes through the swingarm and engine, the only thing that works is punching it out from one side, but i dont have anything the right size to do that now. I got it about an inch on on the left side (the side it should slide out through)... please help lol

miniho speaks wisely.  ;)   Hope shock is removed. Put something under swingarm to relieve tstress on that joint. then punch it through.  :thumbs:.
