June 18, 20179 yr 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.
June 20, 20179 yr 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.
