tsr22b Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 bad news! your swinging arm bolt is seized in the spacer that runs between the pin and the swinging arm bushes. You will need to get a hacksaw blade between the swinging arm and the frame and saw through the swinging arm bolt to get the swinging arm out. You can then replace the bushes and you will obviously need a new pin and spacer. Trail and Trial Uk do a kit and i think its around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy.t Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 There is a chance you could be able to get the remains of the bolt out of the bush once removed, and then you will only require a new bolt, which is what I managed to do, lot cheaper than the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev99 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) firstly Thanks for getting me out of the siezed spingle.after a few hacksaw blade breakages i was surprized how soft the bolt is. i cant move it from the bush, but had an idea as to solve any more problems.why not make a soild bush and tap both ends to take 12mm bolts that way you could still have the grease nipple and should end the problem. any one and thoughts on this or am i just putting off paying Edited April 22, 2009 by kev99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blocky Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Sounds like simple solution to a silly design fault. Ill certainly be looking into this myself. Please post some pics if you get that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev99 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 will get one made and send pics. just thought it was too simple,but it would be exactly the same as the siezed one i just took out.and only took that out to remove and reset the foot rest.

kev99 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 tsr22b, andy.t Thanks for your help. added new development to the question what do you both think of this idea ? cheers again kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy.t Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Kev,the solid bush idea sounds ok, I did think about getting one made from some kind of aluminum bar when I had the problems with mine, as the original bolt and bush does feel heavy .One word of advice is to double check the length of bolt required as my existing one needed a shim washer fitted to prevent the swing arm from locking up tight when the bolt was done up. So I say go for it and save your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
