swampystu Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Hi. Just tried taking swing arm bolt out on my yam ty 175 to put new foot pegs on. It's stuck! Tried a big g clamp to push it out while turning and tapping and she's stuck. Haynes say it's common and you can cut it out and replace with new one and bushes (£60 on eBay) Any other ideas to budge it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btc273 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Its happened to me several times as I have now and in the past owned many 175s it will do it to a 250 also. Take off the rear wheel and swing arm nut wedge the frame open a small amount cut the bolt with a reciprocating saw press out the bushing and what is stuck in it from the swing arm and replace with new parts.you will see in most cases you will not be able to press out the part of the bolt that is left even with heat without squishing the center bushing. Main center bushing 90389-1202-00 Bolt 525-22141-00-00 Swing arm bushings (2) 90386-18028-00. Good luck. Take bolt out once a year and lube it the zerk fitting does not get grease to the center of the bolt/bushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Cutting the axle avoids the risk of bending the frame by using force If your only problem is the axle being frozen in the inner bush, it is relatively easy to release the axle from the inner bush once it is out of the swingarm If the inner bush and outer bushes can be reused, all you need to buy is a new axle. If the inner and outer bushes need replacing, you needed a kit anyway There are two kits and one is much more expensive than the other 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
