I don't know if you guys are into the older triumphs,but I have an issue with removing the swing arm for power coating ,I cannot get the main spindle out even though I have heated the housing up .Am I missing something out and what is the correct method, the bike is a 1973 Daytona T100r
Hi Walter, and welcome in if you post this in the Technical section and/or the Daytona or Vintage Classic sections you may get a more informed opinion from those in the know. That said I'm sure someone will be along shortly who will give you the benefit of their experience
Welcome to the Asylum you should fit right in. Too keep the inmates happy we will need photos. Tucker
Walter 55. It is probably seized in with rust. If there is no play in the arm its self I would leave it. When you start riding the bike just keep spraying wd around it till a later date. Other than that get some one with a press and work it out with drifts. Ride Safe Joe.
I assume you have dismounted the swingarm and have a spindle seized in the bushings? The easiest way is to go to your local garage and have them use their hydraulic press to push it out then also remove the bushings as they are likely in need of replacement too.

If you are going to give it some welly spend a bit of time ensuring the opposite side to being hit is fully supported. Wooden blocks up against a wall can be an effective solution.
