Hi I have a1973 T100R Daytona I am rebuilding I have an issue with the swing arm spindle ,I cannot get the spindle out even though I have heated up the surrounding metalwork,does anyone have any ideas how I can get it out as I need to get it powder coated.
I had a very stubborn swing arm spindle on an enduro bike. It was rusted in and turned to to be bent too ! I leant the bike over with lots of penetrating oil (3 in 1) left overnight. Possibly for each side. I then loosened the nut and placed an aluminium block over the to protect it and kept hitting it with a big hammer. It eventually shiffed and loosened a little. I then knocked it through using a drift (socket extension etc) You may need a support on the opposite side if hammering to make it more effective. Also worth double checking there is nothing mechanical stopping it moving !
